I'm half way to an engineer... I'm debating whether I want my engineer degree or computer science.

I wento Alfred State for my drafting degree. Now I'm trying to figure what I want to take in college. I'm a drafter for a big company and they will pay for further education for their employee's.

mines still.. uh.. ummm.. idk? I was excited about getting it, but now that ik my tune might be here sooner, it can wait i guess..

Looks like the general review is that everybody loves it? Does the bar really make that big of a difference in handling?

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I didn't want to read everything in the thread. I read page 1 and it started to go to ****.

To the OP, one thing to consider is that the TTR rear sway was made for the FE5 suspension. Looks like you have the FE3. That is the only thing I could see being problematic. However, I have the FE5 and the TTR rear sway. I absolutely love it. Yes, on sudden inclines, sucah as driveway entrances, it does feel like one of the wheels comes off the ground. Regardless, it doesn't last for very long if you keep moving. The driveability is excellent. My wife has noticed the difference and is willing to have it installed on her SS/NA sedan.

Does any one get wierd moans and groans from the back going turning in and out of steap driveways

How do you guys feel it handles over uneaven surfaces do you get and "waddel" that is normal with stiff sway bars.

just wanna get other people feelings, i only had mine on for a day
I have the progress bar, which is the same thing, just not as stiff.

When I turn into steep drives, I sometimes get a little creeking from the rear, but it really doesn't concern me. I had creeking before I installed the bar, found to be the lower control arm bushings, now that they are worn a little, the noise has mostly disappeared.

And if a wheel does come slightly off the ground, no big deal, a cobalt is not a rock crawler.
