pretty simple question, do you think the addco sway bars are worth it on a daily driver? Thanks

Yes, also do the Watts link and upper and lower control arms for that "slot car" feel.

they will put you off for at least a month past that date on the rear, every time I have ordered one has taken almost 2 months to get, this past one the delivery date was changed 3 times, Someone at Summit told me that they only make them t order now and dont make a stock of them. After all that waiting I was a bit dissapointed that it didnt make the huge difference on my MM that it did on my CVs - I think because my car is lowered it wasn't as drastic of a change or maybe the 2 month wait soured me....

Zack & Mac upper and lower control arms impresed me the most on rear handling improvement.

IMHO... the biggest bang for the bucks as far as handling:
In order
Aftermarket (billet) rear upper and lower control arms
Addco sway bars, front and rear
Aftermarket (billet) Watts link
I have Metco Watts link and rear control arms and Addco sway bars. A little rougher ride but handles like a slot car.

I got the Front one in 2 days from Summit and the Rear one was on back order but received in 10 days. It was actually earlier than their quoted time. I forgot to order the greasable bushings so they are on the way and then i will install.

We have both an 03 and an 04. The 03 has stock suspension and the 04 is totally upgraded with CHE CA's, CHE Watt's link and F & R Addco bars. Difference is night and day.
I ordered the Addco bars from www.Neverenoughauto.com If you hunt around you might find a discount code as well, I did, but I don't remember where, might have been a Nissan forum.

:D It was your lead to this source in my old thread that prompted me to buy from them as well. Great deal on worthwhile upgrades!

Most bestest thing you can do to these cars suspension-wise. After my bars were installed nearly handled as well as my Jag F-Type V8S!!!

My car is a base Grand Marquis with worn out shocks & springs, and those sway bars made a huge difference in handling! Worth every penny!!!

Imagine how the ride would be if you fixed the worn out shocks & springs!
