danny25,

I just got the upper bar.
the only way I can describe the difference is going from stock sways to Comptech sways(you know when you first jump in your car and everything is more responsive, tighter, and just better, it's kind of like that) - may not be quite as big of a difference but it is definitely noticeable

just took it for a test drive. The steering definately feels tighter, it's kinda hard to explain, but it feels more responsive. It even makes it harder to squeal the tires around a corner. I can't wait to get sways.

Arnold, thanks again for doing the work to get this GB together for us, I appreciate it.

I just twisted till I couldn't tighten them any more, but not too tight to strip the threads of course.
