Default Semi-Upgraded Sway bars...

I installed my ACR rear sawy bar and PT GT cruiser front sway bar...and I have to say...I don't notice any difference. Is anybody else running this set-up? Do you think once I install my Eibach Prokit, everything will come together?

On another note, I was talking to a fellow SRT owner lastnight, he told me that I will end up wrecking my car because the bars are too stiff. I told him that he's a jackass. Did I handle that situation properly? j/k

I had those bars. I installed all my suspension mods at the same time though.

Mopar springs, the sway bars, tension struts, and strut bars. AMAZING improvement! Tires make a major improvement aswell.

And yes that guy is an idiot. Wrecking your car because of better handling suspension, that makes a lot of sense.

You had those bars? Did you upgrade to something better?

I got my Enkei's and 235/40 Falken's on order, they should be here by tuesday. I'm so excited...I think I'll pee my pants! [8D]

I had them, then my car got totaled. I might have eventually upgraded, but the car handled great with the mods I listed, the tires are a key factor aswell for handling. Overall a much safer car aswell.

well, he COULD be right, i mean if you adjust your stiffness wrong you could induce madd understeer/oversteer, depending on the setup, but we are talking during EXTREME cornering. but hey, then again incorrect tire pressure could have the same problematic effects.

I don't really do an extreme cornering...well actually...now that I have my rims, I have been taking the turns alot faster than I usually did. The car feels much more stable now though. I still need to in stall my eibach's. I was going to do them this weekend, but I was informed I would need "lowered end-links". So that totally F'ed up my weekend. []

i had the same problem when i put on my Tein springs, the rear end had bad camber so i went to autozone and bought the end links for about 15 bucks. it won't damage your car but it will put stress on the sway bars and the inside edge of your tires. i believe i got ones that were 1 1/2 to 2 inches shorter than the stock ones.

personally i know that you love your car to death but honestly you should just leave your car alone it rides nice stock as is. Remember you may push your car to the limit which is aight but sooner or later noone can overcome the limits of the chasis. Just be careful

Anyone know the part numbers for the stock sway bar bushings and clamps and endlinks on the front?

Thanks
