I was sick of hearing everyone say how awesome their TL rides with the sways on, so I ordered a set. Woohoo can't wait.

Did anyone install them themselves. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and thought I could do it. Anyone???

Finally huh, you will be amazed how it will improve the handling of your vehicle.

If you have access to a lift, it will be very easy to install. If not, just pay someone install it for you.

Do the springs help that much if the car is completely stock or is it a combination of the springs and sways?

 

I still think springs is the best mod for handling wise. It will improve handling, looks and prevent brake dive, thus, improve on braking also.

 

Well I have just the springs. They make the car less "bouncy". The biggest difference I noticed is obviously the look, but also how the car doesn't squat as much under hard breaking.

From what I've heard, combo of springs and sways make the car handle like a true sports sedan.

 

Yeah that's next. Maybe CLS wheels, decisions...decisions...

OH yes, but don't remember to add 18's with 225 rubbers too

 

I'm planning to install my sways this weekend. Does anyone have the torque values for the front and rear sway/linkage arm connections and the sway bushing mounts? Thanks in advance.

 

Anybody...anybody...

 

Acura service shop told me 29 ft-lbs.

 

Can't be that hard to do without a lift? Mine should come soon also!

 

I have my Sways waiting in my warehouse at work for me to bring home to work on...can't install until my leg is better...Oh well, gotta wait!

Pics of my Miata! Wadya think?

 

Ya know Ed, if you had the parts shipped to your house, you wouldn't have to carry them all the way home.

 

After I get my headers installed I think the sway bars will be next on my list. My next dillema is what should I do for my next performance mod. I don't want to do exhaust just yet because I'll lose the sleeper look.
