Talking COMPTECH SWAYS ARE A MUST!

I just had my sways installed (FINALLY!), and they are AWESOME. I love the way they make my TL ride and handle. I was concerned they would make the ride too "stiff", but boy was I wrong. It actually feels like it rides better on rough roads! My mods are complete for now, and I must give a big thank you to Tim and all of you on this board for all your help. I bought a digital camera to post photos, but I am having trouble with the download part right now. As soon as I get this resolved, I promise to post photos!

I don't know, I'm actually beginning to belive that it's the 225 rubbers that make my car handle so well. I guess I need to go to the track and run like a slalom to feel the effects.

AC, there is a BIG difference... My friend has sways, springs and 18's on 225/40 rubber, and practically no lean on a turn... I was loving it!..I have my sways sitting in my warehouse waiting for my knee to heal so I can put them in!

What's the Neuspeed Competition bar? Is it also a sway bar? Is it a Tower bar?

It is a sway bar... here are the various companies and their respective sizes:

Rear
Stock: 15mm
Neuspeed: 19mm
Neuspeed Competition: 25mm (not out yet)
Comptech: 22mm
Eibach: 23mm

the larger the bar... the better the performance.

I think the stock TL/CL rear sways (solid) are 18mm and the stock CL-s bars are 19mm...not 15mm
