Installed my Stillen Sway Bars today
The install was fairly easy with jackstands, and air tools. The rear was a piece of cake (except for having to drop my Stillen exhaust out of the way a bit to remove the bar). The front took a bit longer due to a bolt that was stripped at the factory. We removed it and it would not go back in.
Anyways, everything went up good. I found one bolt on the passenger side endlink loose of the front sway bar. I am not sure if this might have been causing me to get vibrations at highway speeds no matter what wheels/tires I had on the car (even with them balanced to the best). But I drove the car after installing these and it was smooth as silk again.
Now performance improvement. I expected a little gain from these. But I didn't expect a dramatic gain that I did get!
The car is very responsive, and it wants to stick now in the turns with hardly any body lean. I have the sway bar set to the middle holes both front and rear. I tossed the car hard in some turns at speeds I could not take before without the car getting a bit loose. I can't wait to hit the track. I know I will be much faster in my lap times compared to the last time!
While I was at it, I bought some dupont caliper paint in black and painted my calipers as well.
Sorry about no pics, didn't feel like messing with the camera yesterday. I just wanted to get the mods on.

The price from Altered was comparable. I dont recall exactly how much because it has been a while.
I did see a dealership on e-bay selling them, but they wanted around $400 for the set for some reason.
