front and rear sway bars. Progress makes a nice rear sway bar. Not too sure about the front.

you said in the other thread that the suspension was softer than it used to be. Is the sway also worse than it used to be? How are your tires? Shocks ok?

well, the sway is just as it was at 5 miles when i got it. i think it has to do with the weight and tallness of the car. the car only has 4100 miles since i got it back on april 11 05...

Its odd though people at MO have said the handling actually gets worse with sway bars and you end up having massive understeer problems
