how much of the ride quality is sacrifised when you install the sway bars? i'm getting srpings put on too. i don't want a crappy, bumpy ride like my old accord..

no difference in my opinion, the springs make the bumps SLIGHTLY more noticable. Overall ride has almost no difference at all.

after i installed comptech sways, the ride is a little stiffer, but not harsh. you will notice more bumps and road surface imperfections, but only slightly more.

Still very stock-like. You will feel a little more of the bumps and after a short while you'll hardly notice the difference until you hit the next hard corner. Handling is awesome!

For the sways, you will only notice a stiffer ride if either the left or right side wheel hits a pot hole or going on uneven surface. If you drive on nice, smooth roads, you will not feel a difference.

The sways should not cause any lose in comfort, it actually should make the car ride smoother during turns.
Your springs will make more of a difference in the ride. It's not that noticeable but the rides a little stiffer.

Thanks y'all. i was having second thoughts about putting these babies on but now i'm decided!
you guys who did the install themselves, is it a biaatch or is it pretty simple? i have the instruc. that someone had posted earlier with pics. is it worth throwing down $100 to get it installed?

eujinc

It's definitely not a biaatch. Do it yourself if you are comfortable in working under your car and have a set of tools (12mm, 14mm wrenches and a 5mm hex or allen wrench plus of course a jack and stands).

what's the difference between sway bars and strut tower bars? or are they the same?
