Sway Bar or Pulleys?
I do not know which one to get first. Money is the issue here because of Mother's Day coming up and my Girlfriend's Birthday. I can get the Swar Bar for $265 plus shipping and it cost about $75-$100 to install. Pulleys are about $150 shipped plus about $50-$80 installed. Here is my question:[list=a][*]Do I lose any of my stock feel to the ride, if I get the Sway bar?[*]Is the only two major adavantages in get the swat bar is less body roll and better turns?[*]Is the pulley worth the money for the mod?[*]Is there any other purpose other than hp gain in pulleys?[/list=a]

I want coilovers and I do not have the money now. I have the money now for either Pulleys or Sway Bar. But, I can maybe wait and get coilover. Thanks for the idea. I am still debating.

I reccomend either sways or springs first- sways give much better handling, springs look better and help handling. We have installed pulleys and I'm not sure they really make much of a difference that you can feel- they do look good though!

Sways first by all means. Not only do the Comptech sways reduce body roll, but they improve steering feel dramatically.
Like the Pepsi commercial with Einstein says: "It's a no-brainer!"

I got to an accident the day after I got my stuff installed, so I really did not get to really test it out.
