Sorry but the sway bar install is not really on there. Mainly just the springs. The sway bars, especially the rear, are as simple 'bolt on' as you can get. It was getting the front one out that was a bitch.

Hey PQ what are your impressions about ride quality/stiffness with Stock/Pfadt

Oh, ya. I forgot. My impression is

.

I realisticly thought it would make an almost unnoticeable difference. No way. It makes a huge difference. The ride is noticeably stiffer/bumpier but not too bad. The cornering is amazing. I can't believe what a difference it made. When I was installing them I was thinking "How can this possibly make that much difference?"

Well it does. No body roll hardly at all.

Great job, I thought the sways would present more of a problem with limited clearance on stands.

It's like she now glides through the corners on rails. One of the best performance mods I have done yet?

Just don't try anything with a full cup of coffee in the car!

What setting did you install the sways at, middle?

Yup. Middle. I didn't know where to put it so I went middle.

What's stiffer outside, middle or inside?

d69chris · 02-06-2010, 02:00 PM

I think inside is stiffest position. I am running Frt/middle, rear/inside. They say stiffer rear helps with understeer. I think a stiffer rear on my girls is always welcome!

Hey, I really like the Teddy Bear wheels you are thinking about in the USW post!

I had a bad experience with those guys & would never recommend them.

nice vid. also enjoyed "some jackass in a charger came by reving his engine" LOL

PQ · 02-06-2010, 07:43 PM

Ok. Can't really see the difference. I guess because the befores were taken on a sunny day and the black makes it hard to see the gap but here you go for now. It's true, pics don't do this drop justice at all. Perfect drop in my opinion.

I can tell the difference in the pics; especially in the rear. Looks good and in my opinion better!

Partick · 02-08-2010, 10:35 PM

It does look better...nice job PQ video and all!

Pfadt installation video 56k users... good luck

Good vid! I was laughing my ass off. No negative impacts from all those left over parts yet? LOL! Good stuff.
