Hi, I am looking into getting the Comptech Sways, I know a lot of you guys have em and am wondering if they are all they are cracked up to be? I did a search on Sways and to my suprise didnt find much, I did however find a thread asking what is your favorite MOD and the sways seemed to be the favorite of the most. So here goes, 1.) Is there a Noticable difference is everyday driving? 2.) Would you reccommend getting springs or sways for the first suspension upgrade? 3.) Could I do the installation myself (have done CAI, Brakes, Exhaust) ?? I am looking to get more predictable turning without feeling like I am riding in a Rice Rocket? Sways for me? Any info is appreciated Thnx,

 

Just got it and gonna install it myself this weekend. I tell you by then.

 

Look forward to your response, My suspension is stock as of now, to me it feels stiffer than my Maxima I had before but still feels like it should be wayyyy more responsive. Again look forward to your responses to the sways...

 

you WILL feel a difference with the sways. i thikn that's why it's people's first choice mod, because it makes a difference everytime you make a turn, unlike headers and CAI which can only be used when you really step on the gas (i guess some of you use these all the time too though ).

i'd get the sways first, and then the springs if you feel they are necessary. i didn't get the springs because i don't want to sacrifice the ride, and feel the sways are sufficient enough for the way i drive.

 

Sways would be my first choice as mrdeeno said. The difference is noticeable. In corners, your car just tucks in and feels more tight. Not that heavy, wide, leaning feeling.

Personally, I would get sways and shocks at the same time. The difference is night and day compared to stock. Ride is firmer, but not like a go-kart feeling.

 

The sways a great! They remove a good portion of the roll w/o sacrificing ride quality one bit.

Wow, I think my decison has been made, Im going to get the Comptech sways Thanx for the advice, hopefully now I can keep up with the Bimmer M3's in the turns..... Well maybe, maybe not but Im sure it will help from what I have heard, anyways thnx again for the responses,

 

i think you can keep up with m3's...if he's making a right turn onto 34th st. from main st at a right turn on red allowed traffic light.

 

heh, you won't be staying w/any M3s unless you buy a fast motorcycle.

 

The sways are amazing! The car stays so flat on hard corners and turns... No more feeling like you are on two wheels.

Make sure you get them from Tim at www.autocarparts.com

 

Agree with BNut all the way. NO-BRAINER!!!

 

to have icing on the cake, get new rubbers too with the sways ! Then your set ! Fook these OEM tires, they squeal like a PIG's !

 

Ya I am planning on getting new rubber but would like to use up the stocks as long as I can. Would like to get some 18's nothin bigger than that. Thnx for all the great info on the sways, thats exactly why this is my most frequented Msg Board

 

Chopsuey:
I am doing the same. I just hit 40,000 miles on these pigs (OEM tires) and am waiting for my Bridgestone Pole Position S03's (225/45/17) any day now ! Can't wait to get the full icing from the sways !

 

Another ?, If I order from Tim's Site, how long should I wait for delivery? 1 Week 2? (For the sways)

 

1 week tops. Tim's got a great thing go'n on. Don't even think about going elsewhere, you'll regret it.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of great things coming from TIms Site from Acura-cl.com, Wouldnt think bout buying anywhere else

 

So What do you think, Do you think the ACURA CL can take the PO-PO in the long run? I think we can just need some mods, the acura is a fine piece of machinery that is certified my ACURA and can take a lot of M3s and Audi's....

 

i doubt the acura can take any m3's unless SERIOUSLY modded, but most "lower" stock audis (a4's and the weaker a6's) we can take.

 

email Tim about their availability first. if he has them in stock you'll have them w/i the week.

 

I remember reading somewhere that getting new sways for a CLP wont make a big difference than stock. Is that true?

 

i think getting comptech sways for a cl-p would make a BIGGER difference than a cl-s because the stock sways on a cl-s are already better than the cl-p's.

but the difference between stock cl-s and comptechs is still very noticable.

 

If you really want to have fun with this, put on your sways first and drive with your stock tires for awhile. Notice how good it feels and how well the car handles.

Then, put on your new tires and be prepred to be taken to a whole different level. I would say that new performance tires makes as much of a difference as the sway bars, no kidding! In order of how much different the car feels after each mod, I would say that tries and sways are tied for first followed by springs a distant second.
