My next mods are SFC's and a good swaybar. Many on here have recommended the Suspension Techniques 35mm solid front swaybar. Are there any negatives to this bar? I like the ride of my car right now with the stock springs and bilstein HD's. I could handle a little stiffer ride up front, but not a lot. Does the swaybar add to the stiffness up front over normal road bumps while not turning? I'm just looking for less body roll on hard corners, and the sway bar seems like the way to go, but just want your impressions of it, as far as added harshness goes.

Thanks.

Normal driving is pracitically the same.. My gf hasn't noticed any differences in comfort.. My friend that drives your avg sedan didn't think the ride was too harsh..


I know there is this one section of a backroad that I rarely go on.. has really huge holes staggared/randomly on the road and is torn up (you'd want toslow down if your driving a normal car like a Camry too).. Its bad even on a stock suspension.. with the 35 mm, they come in with a nice solid *THUMP* when you go over the uneven sided ones.. But thats more of the extreme of where I'd drive any car.


You'll be fine.

 

With 500# springs, 35mm front bar and my Koni SA's, my car rides better, and I mean smoother, than it did in all original form OR with my old Eibach Sportline springs, 32.5mm LG Motorsports (hollow) bar and deCarbon shocks.

I've used other big bars on all of my old cars and loved them. If I could, I'd love to try a 38mm on this car!

 

The only downside is the weight of the bar.

 

Thanks guys. Good info. Looks like I'm going with the ST 35mm swaybar.

hmm, i think a solid bar only weighs 7 pounds more? i have a v-8, so the car dont care
