they do different things. Sway bar reduces body roll. Probably a better investment. Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sway_bar

yes, it works, I have one, you have to drill some holes but it's fine

 

Whats a front sway bar look like? Is it that grid looking metal underframe that looks like some sort of a underbody roll cage, or am I way off?

I think since I installed just my top strut bars I have noticed a little less "throwing" when in hard curves, in other words I don't feel like I am being slammed from side to side, but the lower bars will make a bigger effect.

For a daily driver I would think just strut bars, but if you even occasionaly go wild, do them all. I will be adding my lower setup when I get new shocks/struts. I like hair curves around 80mph with complete control.

 

what ur talking about is the H-brace. the bar towards the top isthe rear sway bar, the one towards the bottom with all the bends is the front sway bar.


if u want pretty good handling without the rough ride of shocks/springs, sway bars with tie/strut bars are ur best bet. u wont feel em on the straights but once u hit the turn, its def. noticable. [&:][:@]at ur last sentence...

 

lol, you don't like crazy drivers?

 

no, im a bit crazy when on the track...i hate crazy/stupid drivers on public roads..

 

MY friend's trying to take off sway bar on his truck...that's a dumb thing to do right?[>:]

 

depends...does he off road his truck? if so, its better to lose it so theres more suspension travel when going over large rocks. he'll need to be very careful when driving around on the streets tho, it'll tilt/sway alot and could easily roll if he takes a turn to fast. tell him to look into some "quick release" sway bars. i kno their popular on the Jeeps Wranglers, just snap it in place for driving around the roads, then un-do it when offroading.

 

It depends on how he uses his truck and what kind of suspension he has. For offroading, disconnecting the anti-swaybar allows more articulation/flex. Some suspensions are fine without using a bar. Some vehicles sway a LOT.Quick disconnects aren't that expensive (less than $150 for the most expensive ones), and they're not even hard to fab for usuallyjust a few dollars if one has any shop skills.
