What to get??

Need advice.... In a couple of weeks, I am debating to get either the

COMPTECH SWAYS



OR........

COMPTECH ICEBOX



done at PARK AVE ACURA....hopefully by JENS H.




I am leaning on the sways since I like handiling more than the performance boost, but on these cold days, that icebox can do very nicely!

I agree on the sways, they are absolutely amazing. But, then you're gonna want better rubber

Get the ICEbox, then you can save your money on the install and DIY. Then you can start saving for the sways.

Plus, do you have any other suspension mods? Because you will notice the sways more, when you get other suspension upgrades. When you are ride 4x4, sways won't help as mush.

Even with stock springs, you'll for sure notice the sways. The difference is night and day in body roll, you'll enjoy taking corners again!

Sways for much better handling with no change to looks. Springs for some handling change and better looks. Icebox for a bit more sound, a bit more power, and the same handling and looks. The rest depends on what you want!

it seems that everyone on the board suggests the sways, it really most be a night and day difference, I realize that our cars are large and there is alot of body roll, and I really dont like that at all so the decision is made and the sways it will be!!

Thanks guys/gals!!
