    so i cant seem to find a sway bar that fits the 04 comp g. the gmpp rear sway bar on zzp says it fits the 04+ except compg, and the progress front bar says it requires the 97'-03' control arms and i really dont want to spend $500 on the zzp control arms just so i can put in a front sway bar. anyone have a solution to my problem? thanks!

    Addco sway bar for the rear

    And if you want the biggest for the front you will have to change the LCAs. Just get OEM replacements off RockAuto and you will be just fine. And for the front sway bar I would recommend the Dorman 33mm sway bar

    Comp G rear is hollow

    Your probably better off keeping the stock comp g components...it's not easy to upgrade it without spending quite a bit of cash

    Seems to be conflicting as to the difference but either way I doubt it'll be much of a difference. The front will make much more of a difference.

    Suspension
    Grand Prix is known for handling smooth stretches of interstate or curvy country roads equally well. WideTrack is key to its flat cornering and superb handling characteristics, even when the road is uneven. With the wheels wider apart, less weight is transferred in the turns and tire loads are more evenly balanced. At the heart of WideTrack handling is a four-wheel independent suspension featuring MacPherson struts wîth coil springs, lower A-arm and a 20-mm solid anti-roll bar in the front. Grand Prix's rear independent suspension features a tri-link coil-over-strut design and a 17.2-mm anti-roll bar on the GT and GTP. A 20-mm hollow anti-roll bar is used on the Comp G package. The result is a sportier ride wîth a solid, balanced feel that can make even a run to the grocery store a satisfying experience.
