you wont be dissappointed if you get the set of GT takeoffs, the GT front dwarfs the v6 front. and any rear is way better than no rear.i got the GT takeoffs and im really pleased. much tighter handling. totally changes the ride when you decied to push it. the car really sticks hard.

RE: Sway Bars?
i wish i could help you there. i took my front off and replaced it first, and then i test drove it, and i could tell the differnce easily. and then putting on the rear made it a whole other animal.

RE: Sway Bars?
the GT front helps alot. stiffens the ride up quite a bit. its 34mm vs the stock 26, and the biggest aftermarket ive seen is 36. so the GT takeoff is good. no doubt. and as long as youre not planning on making a dedicated track car it should be enough. most people ive heard of get a GT front and an aftermarket back. most say that the rear is the one thats not quite up to par.
and you'll hear some poeple say to get a solid vs. tubular bar. i dont agree with getting a solid one. its all in the geometry. the tubular one should be stronger if youre comparing ones of similar size. and the only downside to the GT is its non-adjustable. but it should be just right as it is for your app.

RE: Sway Bars?
so gt front and rear is the best affordable way to go for the regular street driver (no racing intended)? i too was thinking of just getting the gt rear but it seems that an even better difference can be felt with both gt takeoffs.

RE: Sway Bars?
both makea huge difference. like i said a few people dont see the point of going any farther than a GT front,and they saythe rear you should get aftermarket. but, i love both of my takeoffs. and it is the most affordable way to go. i was planning on going completely eibach for all of my upgrades, but the performance for the money was better for the GT takeoffs imo. look around for good deals tho. i got mine for 130 shipped, and ispent about 10 bucks in locknuts and bolts and they were on in half an hour each. then you should go back and tighten them once theyre on after a day or two. cause if they come loose, that wont be a good thing. lol. like i said i put the GT front on and drove it around for a few miles and came back, and the differnce was unbelievable. and once i got the rear on, it was amazing. holds so much tighter. turns i could only push about 65-70 in i was pushing 75-80. very nice upgrade. paying 140 total vs 450+shipping around 500 for an eibach set or similar, id get the GT's everytime.
