Question

Well tl-na-tl,

How do you like your sways? Any impressions would be appreciated.

I have also added the Comptech sways but with the roads in the northeast icy or sandy,
not much of a chance to push things to the limit. I could, but I don't want to join the crowd writing about their wrecked TL's.

Just get em. I'm totally confident in taking almost any turn. You get to that s2ooo point where you are in either one of two states: traction and no traction. It's like avideo game.

I installed my Comptech sways this weekend to. I also heard that the front was harder to install, but it had the same # of bolts.
I did have to jack the car up alittle higher to get the stock sway bar out and put the new one in.
Haven't done any cornering yet, car does seem tighter, more respondsive to the steering wheel just driving normal.
Also put in centering rings on my wheels, which got ride of alittle viberation I had in the steering wheel at high speeds.

The Sways improve overall handling a lot. Now, I don't know if the car will feel like a TypeR

Remember that the TL's have sh!tty tires so if you get fatter rubbers, you're in business!

Yes, TL with Comptech sways (F+R) do feels like TypeR. Cornering, sudden lane changes
are little bit more accurate and quicker. Steering feels a little bit tighter than usual. Comptech uses polyurethane bushing at
the rears but uses the stock ones in front...
that's a bummer to me. If you plan on installing the sways yourself, make sure you
jack up the car at least 2 feet off the ground to give you more ground clearance and
that's make life much, much easier to remove
the old unit and put the new one back in. I did not have this luxury...so I suffered while putting the front ones. My advice, too,
is to remove the front tires to gain better
access to the end links without going underneath the car while un-bolting the nuts.
I used the craftsman hex-bit (5mm) attached to the wrench (forgot the exact tool name) instead of the hex-bit key (like the letter L). Worth all the effort/money. Just do it!!!
