Are the Addco’s the solid or hollow sway bars? Did you test them out on a twisty road and what are your impressions.

I installed the Heinous control arm set so next would be the sway bar upgrade if they really perform over the stock bars on the tight twistys.

One mistake I made was to install the Nitto 420s in the rear! They are not suited for challenging corners at speed! :(

The KDS are far superior in the handling department.

Nittos $uck for handling, ADDCO's are a big improvement, well worth the $$$, as is the Wilwood's.

Addco sway bars are just larger versions of the stock ones, doing them and the control arms really makes the car handle better.

Sounds like you're well on your way - enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I can tell, the car handles MUCH better. Everyone recommended staying with the OEM shocks. I have no complaints. The ones I purchased are the solid front/rear swaybars.

I also have the underdrive pulleys, 4.10 gears, waitng on money for SCT and PI torque converter. I get all warm thinking about it.

I went from stock rear shocks to Monroes then back to stock. I def. enjoy the stock rear shocks better. I noticed when I had the Monroes that while on a bending turn if I hit a bump the azz end would jump up and shift to the outer direction of the turn. With the OEM shocks it doesn't do it as much and makes me feel more in control.

Looks like you have a very good start... I hope one of these days to finally complete my suspension :cool:

[offroadkarter]

The nitto's have great traction, they just have a softer sidewall, the KDWS are like cement...

Put a couple more pounds in the 420's thats all.

And by the way, your top rubber piece going from the TB to the tube is upside down, you shouldnt see the molded letters there.

Pick up some synthetic grease for the bushings, they will need to be greased every 6 months or so. If you start to hear squeaking going over bumps and such it's probably from the bushings needing to be greased.

[hamcheese]

NOTED I will do that, what brand do you recommend

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

What type of bushings do the metco's use? Are they also Delrin?

[hamcheese]

Polyurethane...
