Addco Front Swaybar

A W E S O M E ! ! ! !

wow, night and day difference over OEM. Solved a _lot_ of understeer at speed.

really tight and flat tossing it side to side, no longer feels like
piloting a yacht.

The bar is really heavy but well worth it. Even comes with full link kit including polyurothene bushings.

When i orded i said i had a GrandPrix. Bolted right in

Cheers

Re: Addco Front Swaybar

yeah i know what you mean, I ordered the GMPP Handling Kit for the W-body and its really tightened things up, a lot less understeer and feels way more stable all around.

I still have a bit of body roll, but i think thats because i still have the stock springs/struts at 118,000 miles.

Im not what the differences between the GMPP and Addco swaybars are, I think the Addco is solid all the way through, whereas the GM piece is hollow, but I think theyre both the same size.

Here is the GMPP kit http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...ber=pk12456148

You get all that for probably close if not less than what you would pay for just a front swaybar from Addco, BMR, or the like.

Re: Addco Front Swaybar

You know my 02 intrique has an acute oversteer at speed. Anyone else experience this.

I once spun out on a slightly damp interstate two lane high speed ramp. This ramp goes from 465 west to 465 south and I usually don't take the cruise off 75 or so, but at 70 she come around after hitting a damp spot and guard rail doesn't look good going backwards at about 50 let me tell you.

Anyway I got real lucky and didn't hit anything or anyone. The person behind me just stopped with me and shook their head.

Re: Addco Front Swaybar

Have you checked out the conditions of both your front and rear swaybars? You may have a broken front endlink, which I think would result in oversteer, but I could be wrong about that.

I have never noticed my car oversteering, except like on gravel roads and wet roads, on dry pavement it has always understeered as it was intended too, although it doesnt do it as badly anymore.
