I just installed my Strano sway bars this morning and OMG by far the best upgrade I’ve made! I already had Strano springs and Koni’s but for a while now I was getting a loud bang on medium bumps. I wasn’t updating the sway bars for that reason…. But couldn’t believe that it not only handles better but it smoothed out the ride tremendously. So much that I called Sam and left him a voicemail thanking him 😎 I didn’t notice anything broken or noticeably bad. But I definitely must have had something going on.

Front/Rear? Sure you can isolate it..... bushings? these cars are getting pretty old. Yeah, my suspension has been totally transformed... Also helps that mine is a hard top.

I did both front and rear. I also have a MWC 9” so only thing I can think of was one of the bushings were bad on my rear sway bar. But I’ll be honest I rarely can tell the difference in shocks. But I definitely noticed a huge improvement with changing the bars.

iI think so as well, although they seemed to look fine. Definitely had an issue.
