Re: Hotchkis rear sway bar

3 questions please:

1. Does it make a huge difference in cornering with the bigger rear sway bar? ...or just a little better?

2. Did it make the ride quality a tad more harsh or stiffer in everyday driving?

3. Where to purchase any brand rear sway bar at the best price?


Thanks

Re: Bigger Rear Sway Bar - Does it make a Significant Differ

2 questions please:

1. What other brands are available, any of them less expensive than the one listed on ebay for $142?

2. Does the ride quality become a tad bit more harsh or stiffer in everyday driving after installing the larger sway bar?

Bigger Rear Sway Bar - Does it make a Significant Difference

Does installing a larger rear sway bar on a FWD Vibe make a significant difference in cornering?

Does it also make the overall ride quality a little bit stiffer or a tad bit harsher?


Who makes them, and where can they be bought at the best price?


Thanks!

Re: Mods to smooth out the ride on our 2005 Vibe AWD

Just this month for this very reason I put on new wheels and tires in 15 inch - Bought the MB Viper wheels and Michelin Defender tires in 205-65-15 from Discount Tire. It rides GREAT! Finally no more choppiness and no more harsh jolts driving over bumps! Love the ride, wish I had done it sooner!!! B...
