I am considering upgrading to the Suspension Techniques sway bars. For those that have them, what are the performance gains versus how much they make the ride punishing. I am trying to strike a balance between improved handling and ride comfort. To illustrate this these are the mods I have chosen (so far):
Performance enhancing: TRD Springs Front Strut Tower Brace Side tower braces Ride comfort: KYB GR2 16" wheels (with 4 inch sidewalls) Thanks for the replies  -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I installed my Suspension Techniques front and rear swaybars today. I haven't driven much yet but I can tell the change is pronounced for cornering.
I do have another question though for others who have installed them. I get a hard rubbing sound from the sway bars when I hit bumps. Anyone else have this issue? Did it go away once they were broken in a bit? I am wondering whether they need to be lubed or adjusted in some way.
