Most definitely. You can most feel the difference in the corners. feels more stable and confidence building than the stock. Just a wee bit harsher ride on bumpy road, but well worth the purchase for getting on and off highway ramps.

sweet thanks,im going to be doing some auto x this year and need to stiffen it up a bit

Don't get the rear one until you have upgraded the front one. Or do them at the same time.

Definitely a needed upgrade for the twisties of AutoCross...I am very impressed with my Addco/Metco system !


:cool:

I love mine.

Not too crazy about mine... dont really notice a difference. Car handles mostly the same. I will +1 to the harsher ride on a bumpy road. I'll look into doing a front bar and firmer shocks. I think you will notice an insane difference when you do control arms, sway bars, and shocks all at once.


just my .02

Ryan;

let me know when you auto-x, I might be up for that. I have heard Valley Fair is the only course big enough for a Marauder.

Do sway bars & control arms and your set:up:

I did the following all at once:

Rear Control Arms
Front & Rear Sway Bars
Cut 1 Full Coil from the Front Springs
Lowered the Rear Airbags accordingly

Car handles like it should now :D It's no Mini Cooper.....but decent for it's size.

If you are going to be AX-ing....I would suggest you look into a new set of brakes, or even larger ones.

I can't wait to have mine installed. All of my parts are here: Addco front and rear sway bars, Metco upper and lower control arms, Metco Watts link, and Metco driveshaft safety loop. All of it will be installed when I go out to visit Lidio in a few weeks for a gear install and new tunes, too.


Should be almost like a new car. All that will be left suspension wise is the QA1/Naake setup, widened rear rims and new, wider Nitto 555's all the way around, and a TCE Plus 1 brake upgrade. That should give me all the handling and stoping power needed for the go-fast power upgrades coming at some point.

a friend of mine had addco sway bar (http://www.aftermarketperformancepart s.com/addco-sway-bar.html) installed on his ride for a year now, he had no problems with it and happy about its performance. its a good choice.:)

here goes....

for AX racing...get both front and rear sway bars.

for drag racing....rear only

with only a rear in the car it felt as if the rear wheels were turning corners faster than the fronts...felt un-balanced

both and its all smooth...faster the better
