To save money [and work] just buy a rear only 3 way adjustable and leave front alone. Set it on medium and proceed to the next project.

New Sway Bars

I got my new Stillen sway bars installed today. I had instant success. There is a particular on ramp that I like to take at 60 MPH. With the OEM sway bars I would get a plowing sensation in the front as I made the turn. Took the turn today at 60 MPH. It was smooth a silk. I will test them further this week end.

New Stillen Sway Bars

I was going to set them soft/med but they talked me into trying med/med first. He said 90% of his customers end up going with med/med. They said they would set the front to soft if I didn't like med. I guess time will tell but so far so good.

Thumbs up New Stllien Sway Bars

Well, I put my new Stillen sways bars to the test this weekend. I took my G on numerous sharp freeway on and off ramps, lane changes, and pushed it hard on several circle/donut tests. I did not feel any under steering/plowing and the VDC only came on 1 time briefly during a circle/donut test. I am definitely pleased with this mod. And will leave the sway bar settings at med/med.

My car specs:
2005 sports tuned suspension
Front tires: 245/35r19x8 Michelin pilot
Rear tires: 275/35r10x9.5 Michelin pilot
