Have the Addco frt & rear sway bars installed also the Metco upper & lower rear control arms and the Watts link (also threw in driveshaft hoop while I was under there). Boy am I glad....:banana2: :D handles "like it is on rails". Have to be careful not to overdrive the tires......

Afternoon Matt.
I had them installed and it sure makes swinging around corners easier.
Course I also had the Metco upper and lower control arms installed.
Altogether it really is nice.
Good luck, Jim Geary

I installed the Addco rear sway bar.
I love it, so much that I have the front addco in the garage waitin' for me to have the time to put it on.
The improvement from the rear is most noticeable to me when I'm on an exit ramp from the interstate, the car corners much flatter than with the stock bar. Installation is a snap, at least the rear. The front looks a little more complicated, looks like I'm going to have to buy some ramps...

I suggest getting both the front and the rear sway bar
just the rear in my car made it turn oddly, kind of plowed the front, and the back felt like it was turning.....anyway
when I added the front bar it was much better, turns nice and flat, no over/understeer anymore.
Drag racers normally will only put in the rear, to allow the front to lift more

You won't need ramps, just jack both frt sides up and take off the wheels, make sure you use jack stands tho......
Sorry bout hijackin the thread....

I have both too. I put the rear in first then 4 weeks later or so the front. The rear one is a must. The front one makes the front end a little more stiff .But all in all the car handles so much better.

Ditto, you will not be upset if you get this package

Does Dennis carry the front as well? I don't see it in his catalog and I haven't called him yet.

He does. I got both of my sway bars from DR. Just make sure the shipment date is clear when you place the order.

Yes!
The addco rear bar is a big imporvement. I did that first & then the Metcos and got even better handling.

Matt,
I have installed the ADDCO rear bar on both our MMs. Makes a world of difference plus I added the Mac & Zack rear control arms as well. Firmed up the rears big time.

What he said /\/\/\ . You have to pull the calipers and rotors. Might be a good time to buy some VHT paint Jimmy!
Sorry, too! [Highjackers anon!]

100% so far. Started with the rear, loved it and added the front. Both from DR. Flat and fast. No down side I can detect. :beer: Dennis
