Thumbs up Comphtech Sway Bars Installed

Picked up my baby thisafternoon and went out looking for "S" turns and other road challenges. First impression is that it requires a little more effort to turn the steering wheel (tighter) but not unreasonably so.

Corners can definitally be taken at a much higher speed, without any evidence of body roll. The ride is otherwise unchanged. Very pleased with the installation. Now looking forward to freeway on and off ramps. Definetily recommend this upgrade.

I noticed the exact same thing after I had my Koni Yellows installed... its like the steering feels firmer/tighter than it did before.

Anyone else with aftermarket struts notice this?

Sorry about the spelling (Comptech), fingers move faster than brain. The install was done by a local shop that rebuilds older Mustangs from tthe ground up. They charged me $92.00 for the install, and from all appearances did an excellent job. Well worth it for me especially since the daytime high temp. has been about 30 degrees for the last 10 days. Still lovin the difference.
