Hey Guys,

What exactly is the benefits of installing the heavy duty front and rear sway bars?

...in conjunction with polyurethane bushing replacements...

Body roll is greatly reduced. Tighter cornering with giving up only a bit of softness in ride.

And by balancing the size of the front and rear bars you can change the default cornering mode of the car. If you would like to make the car corner with less understeer you stiffen the rear. If you want to reduce oversteer you stiffen the front.

My personal experience is there is no deterioration in ride, the only downside is that you probably need to scuff sand your drivers seat area. Otherwise you get your butt tossed back and forth in the car.

With the larger Addco fornt and rear, I can really throw this car into a turn, to the point that I only back off because I can't stay in a good position in the seat. I had a guy in a GT follow me off the highway ramp on a decreasing radius...he about went farming, I guess I should have slowed down for him to keep up :)

Would a really nice set of tires like Michelin PS2's make a bigger handling improvement?

Also, when you order these bars do they make noise with stock bushings? Do they make noise with polyurethane bushings? When you order them do they come with the p-bushings or do you need to get them seperately? If so, who has em?

Frame mount bushings included. Reuse your end links, or get new before the install.
I can't wait to install the front bar, The rear bar made a world of difference.

Perhaps for the front....personally I do not know.

But the rear Addco kit comes with new, heavier stabilizer links, AND polyerethane bushings.
Pitch the old ones. If you lightly grease the frame mount bushings, they shouldn't make any noise at all.

Okay better handling does sound good, but will I need to get a frontend alingment done if I get the front swaybar?
Also how many brands are currently offered for our Marauders?

No alignments required with swaybar replacements. ;)
