The nice guys at Burlington Hyundai hooked up my swaybar so it finally got installed yesterday, after a failed attempt with rusted bolts. I didn't get to test it out yesterday but it seemed like the back was tight around the 3 corners I took. On the way to work this morning I ended up finding out how well it works, I almost took this one corner to sharply but corrected it, but the best was yet to come. On the way home from Mississauga I took it through Kilbride (North Burlington) and down Cedar Springs Rd. At first I had a 97ish Maxima riding my tail, but through the corners he couldn't keep up, he would either cross the line or almost lose it. I can't believe how much of a difference this upgrade made.

im glad you enjoy your new sway bar. I was a skeptic at first too untill it finally was installed and i was taking the apex of 30mph corners at almost 60 and holding tight.... keep us updated.

I have Toyo Proxies TPT. They are stock size but are amazing. But unfortunately I have either a spring problem or an alignment problem which has caused a diagnal cupping which will mean that I have to replace at least 2 tires soon as well as what ever is caused the problem. It doens't appear to be my suspension, but who knows.

Helps if you know a salesman who attempted to install it with you to sweet talk the Service Manager  But really, they shouldn't deny installing it for you, as long as you're paying. -------------------- “Being a guy doesn’t mean that we have to admit to our Foibles, but rather come up with better excuses” - Colin Mochrie

Silet there can't possible be any more snow left on the ground around Poughkeepsie? Don't you feel the missing swaybar on the Taconic?
