    Does the weight hurt the geometry or whatever it is that keeps me from hitting walls? Or do I just need to take a good poop before I leave the house to keep my trap speeds up?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Material along the neutral axis does nothing but add mass.

    Material close to the neutral axis does almost nothing but add mass.

    Right next to that, so on and so forth.



    You likely won't notice a difference between solid and hollow for the same dia.

    Okay, so I don't wear shoes too and it's even.

    I've changed out a cracked gmpp sway bar with only 34,000 miles on it. Not strong enough IMHO. I went with a dorman.

    Interesting. Maybe the wall thickness is sub-optimal. Well my pencil stock bar has 105K miles, so maybe yours had manufacture defects.

    I drove for a while with a broken sway, then upgraded to GMPP stuff.

    I noticed a difference, but that was going from nothing to something upgraded. I used poly bushings and links front and rear as well.

    These cars don't corner worth a **** no matter what you do in comparison to other cars.

    I ended up going with the dorman bar. I got it from a local parts store from 120. It came with new links and bushings and i didnt have to wait for it to ship so i went with it. I installed it today. Sure glad i did it on the hoist at work because i ended up having to drop the back of the subframe to get the lil bastard out. Anyways, new one in and handling is much better. This new bar weighs about 3 times as much but i dont think it will be breaking anytime soon!

    Yea its usually 100 picked up or 70 shipped lol but good choice. Did you put on some different end links? I didn't and am probably gonna have to change them in spring, I didn't use tape or anything and don't think anyone greased them lol...
