even on my spt cpe, the old school stillen's (the gold ones) make a diff, just because they're adjustable
-and they look cool, which must add like 0.9 to the skidpad test

i'm def. interested in a set, but if they had a DIY with pictures of the install, it would make the decision to buy a set so much easier, b/c then i wouldn't go into putting it in blindly...

IMO, a sway bar upgrade on a Journey or X model would be worth it, but maybe not on a Sport.
Stillen doesn't mention how thick their sway bars are. Did you get the specs from them?

Hmmmm.... I wonder if they'll divulge the information so the "S" owners can make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase these bars.

just seen them on stillens site. Im very tempted to order them but would love to know if it is going to be an improvement over whats standard on the S. As others have mentioned stillen does not list the size. Does anyone else have any info on this yet?

btw anyone who knows any thing about sway bars...by looking at the pics on stillens site, were the hell are those adjustable?

Got mine the other day. Just put them on today. They are not AS adjustable as the old ones. The front are not adjustable. On the rear, you have two holes. The closer in the middle the stiffer.

The ones in the Stillen picture are not for the 2007. The photo is probably for illustrative purposes. I assume the thin straight bar in the Stillen picture is for the rear. On the 07, the stock sway bar has two "humps" in it to clear the dual exhaust. As a matter of fact, the stock rear bar kinda looks thicker than the one in the Stillen picture.

You can see the stock rear bar here:

The generic picture shown isn't for the 07's, but i think the detailed image down below that you can highlight and click on is for the 07 sedans, and it has the two "humps" for the dual exhaust that you mentioned. not too sure how i feel about the red yet, but it could grow on me...
