If the build sheet on a 2003 Marauder has listed heavy duty suspension do you improve handling with Addco Swaybars. I ordered Addco front and rear swaybars and after receiving them I had car backed out of gsrage and looked at stock front swaybar and the Addco didn't look that much bigger.

The Addco swaybars are not significantly larger, only a millimeter or two but just that slight increase in size can have dramatic results in how a car responds to cornering.

I run Addco's front ,and rear and there is no comparison to the oem parts, Addco's are far better, and beefier parts!

Make sure you get a set of Moog end links for the front bar if you dont already have a set.

Roger that!

Huge improvement in performance for my Merc. Addco along wand Moog along with my Z&M control arms works like a champ.

And hello there fellow Illinoisian.

I do also have Metco upper and lower control arms to install. I have been slow to change anything on this Marauder since I bought new in July 2002 and it now has only alittle over 2000 thousand miles,

Yes, the Watts link! No more tail wag when maneuvering at high speeds. Don't know if that is the whole of the fix, I replaced all the suspension when I did the Metco's, including Addco tubular sway bars. These puppies are a lot thicker than stock because they're hollow, but supposedly the same rate as the solid Addco bars.

Save a whole 10 lbs with the pair!

Curb jumping days are over. The front end has less travel now with the coilovers. Not an issue for a street car.
