Re: (Mrizzle05)

Re: Effectiveness of a front sway bar (Shadow-Vibe)

Thanks for the threads Simkins. I was looking through them and was wondering if there is really such a difference between different companies' bars. I saw one person had a Progress bar on the rear, installed a Hotchkis in the front, and then replaced the rear Progress bar with a Hotchkis so that the...

Effectiveness of a front sway bar

I installed a rear anti-sway bar to my Vibe GT and noticed a definite improvement in handling. I was wondering if adding a front swaybar would be even that much better. Has anyone that already has a rear sway bar, installed a front one... what kind of improvement did it make?thanks

a better sub that fits in the moon and tunes 10" spot?

I have a 2005 vibe with the moon and tunes system, and i keep blowing the sub. i never really go ver 4 bars and i usually turn the bass to 0 or even -1 sometimes. Is there a more powerful sub that will fit in the old subs compartment?
