Here's my feelings on this mod.

My current setup:
Eibach pro kit springs
OEM rims, Michelin primacy mxv4 tires

After installation, I noticed the car felt much more taut, feels like im driving a tank or something. Turns can be done faster and when done faster, i feel like my back end will fly out, feels nice.

In regards to comfort, which was my biggest fear... so far I have only driven on good to slightly bumpy roads... I'm driving into town later, so I can gauge some bad road conditions later...
On a scale of 1 through 10, 1 being OEM, 10 being a car without suspensions, the Eibach springs alone brought it to a 5, +sways to 5.5. Havent really felt a huge difference in ride comfort...

sways arnt really meant for ride comfort really if anything they will reduce ride comfort because they amplify how crappy a road is. its mainly for turns or switching lanes on a highway if youre not going to track it.

If I had my girlfriend's birthday (dating for about 3 years) on the same day my Sways came to me - I would definately install them the same day, even If I had to make a birthday party in my garage this is how much I want this sways)))

does the box fit into our G's? im picking up my set soon at the border.

If it doesnt.. I will have to remove the sways out of the box then and dump the packaging.

Definitely. Not only for camber but toe as well. If toe is completely out of whack, imagine your left side tires pulling one way, the right side tires pulling the other way.

I believe you on this one. Going around Moscow reminded me a lot of my hometown... "lanes? what lane?"

Thanks - one of the forgotten X drivers
these sway bars are made for X's

and i dont think the non x sways will fit on x sedans thats why hotchkis made these new sways
