Thanks for the good info Rich. Eded up ordering both bars from neverenuf since it was free shipping but did just email them to see if I could cancel the front sway bar. I hope they can since that is another $190 that can go to some other part. If not then I guess I have two more parts to get (end links). The longer bolts are the next purchase and they are going to be purchased from the guy you recomened. I contacted him (Istvan) some time ago and now just need to place the order.

Thanks guys.

Quick update.

Ordered my rear sway bar (Was able to cancel the front) from NeverEnough in mid December and was just emailed the bar is shipping from Addco. Have been waiting for some time now but it is not NE fault. Also emailed Istvan about the rear sway bar bolt and hopefully I will have both parts ready for install soon. Can't wait to feel the difference in the cars handling.

Am not sure but have a feeling I should never of cancelled the front sway bar. I hope I made the right decision.

I have both front and rear Addco sway bars on my coupe. I had the rear first, and that in itself made a very noticeable difference. The rear end felt more planted and the car seemed to steer more precisely where it was pointed. You can make the rear slightly tail happy with just the rear sway bar upgrade. Make sure you upgrade those shoulder bolts when installing the rear sway bar.

As far as the front sway bar. When I added the front sway bar, I noticed the front end wanted to push just a tiny little bit into corners. It's very predictable and very planted on the ground with both bars installed. Some of the push the front bar creates is able to be balanced out. Basically you need to have adjustable dampeners be it Koni's or coilovers. The rear needs to be dialed in slightly softer than the front, this allows just enough movement of the rear end to make the rear end snap around in unison with the front of the car. I also have rear lower tie bars installed, and this also greatly helps out the suspension and the alignment. Lane changes are very precise now and cornering is a breeze.

Can you simplify the change after adding the front Addco; is the car more tail-end happy or less tail-end happy?

With the front bar and rear bar, it become much more neutral and balanced.

I have both front and rear Addco's on my GS. I agree with Chrispy that its smooth and controlled with a nice balance (even smoother prior to removing my KMS bar). I'm trying to get someone's attention for a set of rear tie bars and will install my MLS copy bar when the new heart transplant takes place shortly. In my humble opinion getting both of them is a good choice. Its all about just how much control you want and how much you're willing and or ready to pay for it all.

Yeah my bad. To sum it up Mike, less tail happy with both front and rear bars installed.
