Installed the CT Sways and Brakelines yesterday...
hey...just installed the CT Sway Bars and Brakelines yesterday...
man...those sways really work!!...
i took this huge turn on the freeway near my house goin 45mph ( which has a speed limit of 25)...and the car had little to no body roll...AWESOME!!
i think i could of took that turn faster...but there was a car in front of me, so i had to slow down...
the brakeline felt tighter too...but wasn't what i expected...
i was hoping it would feel i bit more tighter, but i guess i was expecting too much (comparing it to the brake feel of the Mazda Miata...lol)
and on a side note, welded on my 3A Racing tips...looks sweet!!
sticks out just the rite amount...
i'd recommend anyone who wants better handling to get the sways first...u feel it more than the upper front structs as they do minimal to the handling...probably just for looks...

Glad to hear you like the sways and brake lines!! Just curious how much installation ran you! You could have saved some $$ and installed them yourself, or at least do the brake lines yourself!!

Yep, those sways make a night and day difference in handling. I'm still thinking about adding H&R OE springs. The springs and sways should make a nice combo. Not sure if they are back in stock yet

Smitty
gives u more of a sportier feel...but for better braking distance, u'll probably have to go with brake pads
hope that clears things up

The next mod you should make is your tires... no question. I've read horror stories on here with people upgrading the sways but not the tires, and having the car break loose on them. I think one even got into an accident (on acl.com). If you're going to start cornering harder now... get the tires ASAP... worry about HP after that. I mean, what good is more speed if you're just going to carry it into a wall?
