Hotchkis front sway installed
I had the rear installed almost since I owned the car and man, it helped like 60%. The front one I had the dealer install during the 5000 mile check up.
They billed me an hour, but it took way longer, said the install was dificult. From the start it seemed to reduce the roll maybe 10% more. Then I took an off ramp, WOW. I only needed a quarter turn of the steering wheel to take a 25mph ramp at 40.
Man, I bet some urthene end links will make it more solid for minute turns.

yeah, the hotchkis swaybar set up is the way to go. ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! i've run into a problem with my set, though... the swaybar is contacting the lower control arms. i just pieced together an all aluminum adjustable end link kit that will hopefully eliminate the contact. and there are no urithane end link bushings on our car. this set up is a lot like a tie rod set up, but is not adjustable. congrats on the upgrade/mod. enjoy it... fully!!

Man this front bar completes the package. As you can see from the photo, my passenger who usually is my mother is a very messy person. Her side is filled with napkins, tissues, wet wipes. The can of soup is mines. Just the other day she had a bag of chips in her bag. She had them in upside down and had her bag in her lap when she removed them, spilling chips everywhere while I was in a gas station. Nothing like opening the door to find chips everywhere.
Before the bar, her cleaning supplies would fall out into the floor. As you can see in the photo they are still there after 4 days.
