Well the last local guy fell through, so I guess I will be searching for a BFB to fit these sway bars into and then some bubble wrap...


heavy footed, pm sent.

I know it means like less "body roll" or whatever, but idk what that really feels like. Does it keep the car from tilting when turning sharp and stuff? I just dont understand "handling" very well...I pretty much drive it on a street where there aren't a lot of turns and stuff lol.i guess handling upgrades are more for the track.

That's exactly what they do, and you don't need to be driving on the track to feel the difference. In effect, what the reduction in body roll feels like is the tires staying flatter and the car hugging the road.

The bars actually make the springs on opposite sides of the car want to compress equally, keeping the car more level and preventing camber changes. When you turn and the weight of the car is pushing down much more on the the outside springs and less on the inside springs, you're losing lateral grip. Stiffer sway bars will help with that problem.

V sway bars = stiffer sway bars = less body roll = more equal spring compression = more lateral grip = better handling = more fun.

These are still available for anyone that wants to pickup locally - zip is 19341.

I still haven't found a box that they'll fit into for shipping, but when I do, Oleksakjr would be next in line.
