Well, Today I finally got around to putting my new front Swaybar on. It the LG motorsports G2 bar with poly bushings. It's like night and day. The front end is some much more precise in the corners now. Something I did notice. When I pulled the old one off, I noticed the stock bushings were looking pretty rough and worn. I only have 7400 miles on the car, anyone know if this is normal?
If any of you V6 guys want a set of stock V8 swaybars cheap, get back with me.

What's the size difference anyway? How much are you asking?

Garry, I don't know the difference in size. I had just heard they were different. I may be wrong. Stock for these are 30MM in front and 19MM in rear. Measure your and see if there is a difference.

Hm ... SLP sells the front w/bushings as new take-off parts for $15 ... looks like I'd have to get a new set of bushings, also ... gues somewhere in the range $20 or so?

Sold to the man with the red 'vert for $20. The front endlinks aren't trashed, they just look worn. The body mount are good, both front and rear and there are no rear endlinks, I had to reuse. Tell me how you want me to get these to you.

If you ain't in a hurry, just put 'em some place safe - I guess we might be meeting some time or two during the winter, plus I'm probably going to be in Mannheim a time or two to fix the xmas tree, so we should be able to hook up ...

Nope, I am not in a hurry. They're yours, so I will keep ahold of them for you no problem.

The car is now alot more stable at high speed also. Took it out on A60 today. We were cruisin faster then we should have and it was handling like a beast! Front made more difference than the rear though.

Yes they are. Actaully 12 way. I have had them on full hard. That is one harsh ride. I usually have them on about 4. Pretty good handling, but not too harsh and bouncy.

Correct. I guess they are rebuildable also. Yeah, basically to revalve, you turn the little knob for how soft or firm you want them. Easy.
