spent 2 hours at the auto wrecker pulling a sway bar out of a Saturn ion with the FE-2 suspension. i can tell its gonna fit no problem in my balt which has FE-1. I'm just wondering if anyone can shed a light on wether im actually gonna notice the difference. its 22mm in diameter

 

You likely will notice a difference, and not in a good way.

Stiffen up the front without adding stiffness to the rear and the car will understeer even worse than it does now.

You may want to add a rear bar to get things balanced out again.......

 

yes thatwas the general plan. i simply have to get my hands on a rear bar first. im looking at the progress rear sway bar. that should tidy things up quite nicly.
