LAWLZ, I dont understand how you think you see a difference:

1. We have a solid rear axle, no independent rear nothing
2. I doubt that flex's
3. I put a rear brace on and couldnt tell a different so how are you saying you felt a difference? Unless this mounts to the frame/unibody I dont see this working the least bit

Update

Installed the strut bar and sway bar today... took it out for a little spin and i can say that i did feel a difference in the ride.. not overwhelming... but definitely noticable in the turns... moreso with the car "snapping" back to being level, and also less roll in deep turns.. I think once i get the springs and throw the bigger wheels on with low pro's i will love the suspension set up.. i'll keep ya posted on the spring saga

The springs/wider tires will help improve the handling, but be prepared for your 19"s to bog down you accel a tad. Its not super noticeable, but the biggest time I noticed it is when you shift into second at WOT, instead of burning out into second, it'll be a faint little chirp, lol.

Yeah im keeping my fingers crossed the springs get here soon so i can at least take pics of the car lowered.. not gonna take any pics or put the wheels on until its lowered. I am going with wider tires... was gonna do 215/35 but i think i will spend the extra and get the 225 for a wider contact patch. As for the accel know what you mean.. when i went from 15's to 20's on my chevy blazer if felt it... but when u get rollin... that weight gets and keeps you moving lol. so i will be fine.. once my appearance mods are done i may add a lil hp to the ride

As ive riden on it for a couple days i can say i can really notice the difference.. as i drive roads i would normally be leaning over in the curves I am a lot mor vertical than i used to be..I know the springs will pull away a LOT of the body roll i have left... cant wait.

Did you use the progress bar or something else?
