Thanks a lot Darren. I think I will try the 2.6 bar in the rear.

[quote="Darren Cains"]Here is my basic take on sway bars:

Sway bars are like 'sideways springs', they only work laterally – side to side, they do absolutely nothing when breaking or accelerating in a straight line.

darren, you say they do nothing in a straight line but what about bumps? if your breaking and hit a bump on one side of the car that will affect the other side through the bar.pushing up on one side will unload the other side and cause it to loose traction in a straight line.right? :?:
