Suspension question I lowered my car with mac springs and blist. shocks and a new panhand bar from speed inc. Why didnt they install new front and back sway bars, do they make a difference and should i get them. I only do street driving. thanks
I have the 1LE swaybars and they made a very noticeable difference in cornering. I am still at stock ride height, but cornering got MUCH tighter after the bigger swaybars. Definitely among my favorite mods.

I installed Hotchkis front and rear bars (front is bigger than the 1LE's 35mm) and have loved them since. Car handles beautifully going into and out of corners. Absolutely no body roll. No one can believe how well the car is glued to the ground when they see me make a turn or when they go for a ride. Definitely recommended!

No, it's not lighter than the stock SB, but it's lighter than many of the other aftermarket bars. The 36 mm Hotchkiss weighs 16 lbs., BMR 32 mm solid bar is 21 lbs, and the ST35 solid more than that. I think the stock 30 mm hollow is about 12 lbs, but I can't remember for sure.
