Installed the rear sway bar yesterday:
I installed the rear sway bar yesterday and took the car for a spin. I can already notice a difference in how the car handles. I dropped the Jag off this morning to have the front sway bar done - I have no interest in dropping the front subframe.
I tried to take it here to test out the sway bar but I couldn't find a way in:
Picture of the bar installed:
FYI, if you're doing this I would recommend maybe finding some good Grade 8 bolts to replace these guys while you're doing the job:
They've got a stupid star end that makes it difficult to get good torque on them to get them on and off.
Also order new end links while you're at it, just my .02$.

I had the front installed the other day and today I put my ss brake lines on (finally!) and WOW! what a difference! Oh my, it's like a completely new car. Now I want a sport suspension installed on here to really give it a go! I'm loving the bars, IMO these are the bars that should have come with the car. ;-)

Wow! Big difference. Now I want a more aggressive spring and strut setup. This thing handled soooo much better with the new swaybars. It handles better and is more fun to drive, I highly recommend this setup to everybody.
That being said there are a few issues that are being sorted out. And installing the front sway bar can be a little pricy as you have to drop the front subframe.
All in all this is a very worthwhile upgrade, highly recommended.

Well as far as coilovers go you really only have one choice.. I <3 my KWs and would highly recommend them. My only complaint is that they are Version 1s, so no adjustable dampening. They are great for street/daily driving, but if I was to take my car to the track I would want them to be even stiffer. I tried really hard to get KW to make a few sets of V2s for our cars but no dice. Apparently its too expensive to develop a suspension for a car that only 3 people will buy......

If you can figure a theory as to how these extend the life of a transmission, then you might sell a couple.
