Front Sway Bar Makes More Difference!

All:
Like LesH, I installed the rear sway bar upgrade first. It is so easy compared to the front. I drove the car that way for a couple weeks. The difference with rear bar is very slight. Frankly, a few psi of tire pressure is as noticeable to handling.
Once I got the front bar in, the roll resistance improved much more noticeably. I love it! I have the V-6 which is a bit heavier in the front so I expect the 4 cyl folks will be even more pleased with the upgraded front bar.
It is a serious bit of work to install which is often made worse by the sway bar bushing clamp bolts shearing off. And yes... dropping the rear of the subframe, loosening the exhaust and even unbolting the steering rack (in the V-6 at least) are required to get the old bar out and the new one in. Either have a mechanic do it or book a couple days and a spare car if you try yourself!
