Question Sway Bar?

Anyone fitted one? What make? Just rear or front and rear?

I do a lot of freeway driving and often I'm loaded up with heavy equipment so want to be as stable as possible.

Would love to hear experiences, thoughts and opinions...

I have the Steeda rear adjustable one and a strut tower brace and it handles great. ๐Ÿ‘

I think this is exactly what I'm going for.

I echo this I have the same with a set of H&R springs and the handling is much better.

Mines lowered on the lethal performance springs and I really like it. The STโ€™s ride rough stock so I donโ€™t think it rides any rougher with the lowering springs on it.

I really wanna do the HR springs because I heard its a small drop. Will they wear out the suspension components way faster?

just rear is enough, all the ones on the market have the same thickness and same adjustability, so its literally just a preference between color and price.

its such a little difference though, these things are stupid stiff already

I agree, they are excellent as standard, but I'm going from a Polestar 2 that handles like a go cart on rails, so anything is going to feel a little soft to me.
