Just got mine. This is what a big ass Dali sway bar will do up front.

Alan, why is it you look like you're just out on a leisurely Sunday drive, sitting up all proper and straight while I'm leaning into the turn like I mean to have some serious driving fun? :tongue:

I am sooooooooo glad that JC posted his pic right after you made that comment...............ACTUALLY, I was driving so hard into that turn that the centrifugal force made my body appear to be erect. I was pulling so many G's that I couldn't peel myself off the door. Obviously you were going slower in the turn and didn't have to contend with 2 or 3g forces and you were able to lean in. :biggrin:

My sway bar is bigger than your sway bar. And my car is faster in this turn since you can see the obvious blurring of the spokes in my picture compared to being able to see each spoke on your wheel :wink:
Great pictures everyone.
We love this one since it's so scenic along the coast.
Too bad we missed this one :frown:
Yep, we have Les and JC over here on the west coast setting these epic drives.
Mucho kudos to them
Come on over to CA:biggrin:
You crack me up, Alan! :biggrin: I really am pretty naive when it comes to sway bars. Do I really need one or are you just slow? :tongue:

Go back and look at the pictures---of ALL the cars. Very few are "leaning" or "rolling" like yours and I have a feeling that the cars that look "flat" in that turn all have thicker sway bars. Yes, you need the sway bar AND the braces. (ask Ramon)
Oh now I'm confused. My car feels fine but couldn't it be finer?He's just slow.:wink:
Patty unless your car feels unstable in curves on these drives, which I'm sure it doesn't, then YOU DON'T any upgrades.

Yes but unless you plan to go on canyon drives at a much faster pace than on these drives or plan to track your car then it's not worth the money spent.
I found that on SOS and have bookmarked it, Alan. Thank you. You guys are going to give me an education here, I see. Thank you!OUCH....
Patty has already spent a bunch of money on Bilsteins to get her car to handle better. A good sway bar and stiffening braces costs MUCH LESS than the $$ she has already invested and will give her a bigger improvement in cornering and an overall better feel to the car. She won't "roll" around the turn and her car will pull into the turn as it is supposed to do. MY $.02

BTW, Les wasn't insulting me. He called and explained his reasoning to me. For only $237.90 plus installation, it would be cool if I could feel the difference!
Maybe I should start a poll.
I'm looking forward to it.Good for you Patty. You will notice the difference.
I was waiting for JC to chime in on this. Especially after HIS comment about the Dali swaybar on his car. You are going to be soooooooo happy that you did this. (Now get the lower chassis reinforcement bar to go with it---only $127 more and a super easy install while Ramon is down there) :wink:
Nicole was driving too fast for any of you to keep up haha. Sway bars, psssshhhh. Sway bars won't help if you don't have the guts to push it. And tires is another point: no sway bar in the world will compensate for 19 inch wheels on crapy tires against 17 inch track rated tires. Jc, when are me and you gona get to go head to head

Alan, Ramon installed my front and rear CT sway bars today and told me I should add the front braces. Oh well. I'll see how it is on the next drive.

That's why I toldja in the first place. I did what Ramon suggested and the results were awesome. I'm thinking you needed the braces much more than the rear sway bar. BUT ....... you should still notice a big improvement with JUST the sway bar. The bottom brace is VERY EASY to install (two bolts and easy access) and makes a HUGE improvement. I did that one first on my car and later did the front (top) one. DIdn't notice much improvement when I added the front brace so you might want to go in steps. Get JC to bring you a bottom brace while he is there today and you can slap it on.
I see Patty slipping down the slope of MODS. :wink:
