My order from evasive came in yesterday..my innovative 75a motor n tranny mounts..my diff collars, and my swift front swaybar...Im thinking it should all stiffen up the drivetrain a bit and handling

I'd be curious to hear what you think of the sway bar. I'm all stock too and was thinking about getting one but from reading through the forums, I don't think they give that great of a benefit.

I understand that swaybars are really only 100% noticable when you'r tracking, but the car will corner flatter and help alot since i have an ap1.plus i plan on tracking it in the future

I have Swift front and rear sway bars and the car does corner much flatter. When I first tested them out after having them installed I found myself drifting naturally when cornering on the same road I had driven earlier before installation. Very precise and controlled.

oh so sway bars do make a difference. I was also under the impression that they dont do anything for our cars. I think i might get some now

Plus an added benefit is for some reason the exhaust sounds deeper, and a tad louder,..dont know why but my stock exhaust and exhaust note never sounded so dreamy,its not obnoxious but def menacing

Strut bars are worthless except for a nice resting post, sway bars are a great mod =]

I figured the one poster got them confused...but i wasnt gonna be dick...strut bars are a total waste,..nothing but expensive bling...but yes swaybars (especially on an ap1 ) totally work
