What are the best and cheapest sways?

I am leasing my CLS and I don't want tot throw a lot of money into it if I am going to give it back in 3 years. But I don't like the body roll into turns. I just came from a worked 1997 Z28 and that turned a 90 degree turn at like 60 mph. So I want that feeling back with this car. What are the best and the cheapest sways for this car. Comptech? Eibach? etc....

99.9% of the people on this board who have sway bars, use Comptech Sway Bars. They are about $325 and anywhere from $50 to $100 to install.

I have them on my car and I would have them installed again if I had it to do over again. They make a huge difference.

dude, if you dont wanna spend that much money then why go ahead and buy sways? You do get what you pay for. I think comptech's stuff is way over rated and too costly. Turn to alternatives and see what they offer. Remember this about sways and struts bars, the thicker the bar is, the stiffer the chasis will be.

I know all about sways and what they do. I am just asking what are the best. If Comptech is overpriced and overrated what is a good priced alternative that is better performing? That is basically my question. They all seem to be around the same price. I am new to the import market and only know the Chevy aftermarket. Thanks

Check out Suspension Techniques... I think Tim is selling them for under $300 at www.autocarparts.com I know they were cheaper than the Eibach and CompTech sways.

Get the Comptechs, they are not overpriced.
Huge difference.
