    When i was changing my pads and rotors today, i noticed that my sway bar is literally splitting in half by one of my end links. does anyone know where the best place would be to buy a new bar at? not looking for a performance one unless its cheaper thanks

    do the SEs have different size bars compared to the GT and GTPs? worth upgrading my SE to one of those?

    Get that one above and you'll be golden. It is an upgraded bar, thicker & stronger.

    just buy this

    then you get front and rear, plus a front strut bar if you don't already have one.

    This will be next after LIM gaskets

    besides the installation or squeaky bushings (aftermarket bushings) I've never heard anything bad about that GM kit. Pretty sure someone will chime in that has it.......

    a LOT of people have that kit. its a great upgrade for the money. the only thing it doesnt have is the tubular trailing arms, which make the biggest difference out of anything on the suspension besides lowering springs.

    ^ seriously?

    I only bought the trailing arms because they were so cheap, and the stock ones are about as strong as aluminum foil... once the get all rusted-up.

    Coulda swore that I bought them off of zzp, but doesn't seem like they carry them anymore (besides chromoly ones).

    I will have to say that I noticed a great improvement... my review was lost with the product. But I remember that my ass end didn't feel like it was getting pulled down/around when I would go over a man-hole cover or pot holes. Also made the rear ALOT more stiff while turning or lane changes... i.e. bodyroll/etc.

    still going to buy this package, as it almost feels like something is broken in my steering
