Comptech Sway Bars

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who recomended the Comptech sway bars, I just got them installed today, and I must say the do make a difference!

I took it around turns and freeway exits which loop, and you can feel that the car responds to your needs.. much better over stock.

I currently have stock tires, In my opinion, I think the car would perform better with some upgraded tires.But in any event Good recomendation form everyone who said to get the comptech sway bars... Thanks guys!

How do those shocks feel? I'm thinking of getting the 5 way adjustable..not sure if those are the ones you have? How's the ride feel with them?

The shocks are real good, stiffens the ride, but not drastic and handles good. I have them in the number "4" setting, they feel good to me, stiff but still a smooth ride (I like a real stiff suspension though) I just changed them to the number "5" setting today, I will let you know if it makes a difference.

Your comments are the cincher for me. I will be ordering the sways with the next bonus check ... . Did you install them yourself or ???

I'd also like to know where you get the sway installed and for how much. Thanks.

I got them installed at Motorsport Tehniques in Hayward, Ca (for those bay area people) (510) 783-8383 They charged me $130.00 for install..took them about 2 hours to do. I know it's pricey but I am enjoying them

It's about time, Sled...you've been hanging on the fence about the sways for several weeks now.

Go for it!

hey H4mm3rm4n... how do you like the exhaust? Is it the comptech one? Do you feel an increase in power? How loud is it?

Sorry for the questions, but I thinking of this being my next upgrade.

Hey, Marioman...I responded to your other topic with the four questions you asked about the Comptech exhaust. The short answer: two thumbs up!

The install is $130 ... how much are the sway bars themselves?
