geeze, the car has TOTALLY Changed it's handleing characteristics. .. . its a completely different car. the first 1/8th of turn in the steering wheel is a little more responsive, but once you turn past that, the turn in response is sooooooo much better. . the roads were pretty slick tonight cause it's snowing so i didn't really get to let it out, but i was suprised how i can lay the rear out with the throttle. . . .

Yeah, it certainly makes a big diff. in handling and response. Prob one of the best upgrades you can get. Congrats!Originally posted by flyry110

Nice flyry! I've heard nothing but good things about sway bar upgrades. I'm getting excited! ...not that I'm ready for sways just yet 
BTW, unless that was some vague joke reference to Jeff's little "crack cocaine mods" streak on the bbs (
), Addco only makes the rear bar for us.
Feel free to give us more driving impressions in the days to come!

um no, have you seen the front sway bar? dude, it's JUNK! you can bend it!!!! yeah, the addco is bigger than the ST, but i've also heard horror stories about them breaking off the end links. . . .ST uses a plate and a bushing, no endlinks. i'm not sure if this is how Addco does it, but i'm very pleased with the ST rear. once i get my konis on it'll be all set. . . maybe to some WSP subframe connectors and it'll be solit. believe it or not the car feels stiffer with the front one too. i mean ALOT stiffer. over bumps and stuff it made the front of the car feel more solid. when ya hit a bump with only one tire you can tell the front bar is doin something.Originally posted by Chris91SE

Yeah man, the stock front sway bar is hollow, the ST bar is solid. The weight difference alone should be a good indicator of the rigidity to be gained.Originally posted by flyry110

yup, i agree, ST was the first suspension mod. It was like night and day.
It took the cadillac fell away, but at least the car was nice and level when on the onramps as compared to the 45deg angle when stock.

the scrapin is the damn sway, what a stupid design on nissans behalf, ive never seen a sway bar hang so low,even lower than the frame rails.
And then on top of the design, ST goes ahead and makes the bar even fatter on the spots where nissan had their bar flat. So there you loose another 1/2inch.
my ground clearance is approx 2.5-2.75" at the front sway bar point, and the rest of the car clears 4inches at the next lowest point.
