I think we have the same wheels!
Those look slick on a Black car, I like them on my color and the Vista Blue as well.

Look close right? lol
But nope, I have Stern ST-7 20's. I will be the first to admit though, if they weren't dealer
installed, I would've bought your rims! Love them

Just one more thing in addition to Hamid's question about using LCA's and rear sways...
A quick thought to me was, "alot of GT guys swap out their LCA's.. and they come with a rear sway"
I haven't heard any problems from them?

your wheels are beautiful man

Now then... does anyone know if you can use a rear sway with the control arms?
Man I sure hope so!!! I just ordered a few days back a rear sway and CHE LCA's.. [:@]
I can't see why they wouldn't be able to work with one another?

I'm going to do the LCA's first then add the rear sway.
I'll post when (hopefully) everything is on
Thanks!

Oh, and Hamid, I checked out CHE's website and there is a small pic here; (2005 Suspension Packs)
And there are tons of bars underneath the rear end, easily seen is the rear sway and I'm quite sure their LCA's.

Thanks for the tip! So... methinks it's dandy to do sway bars and control arms... snazzy!

I can see how you could reuse the bolts on the front sways... but, our stock rears have a panhard bar, right? So... yeah... please let us know what yours comes with... thanks!

i'm interested in this as well. I'm def going with UCA's and LCA's, but up in the air on sway bars. Isn't it true that they can hurt your 1/4 mile time? Or is it just the extra weight that makes serious racers remove them?

I hear that Upper/Lower Control Arms help your 1/4, if you lower your car, that's another story, something to do w/ even weight distribution. Somebody should look at this and double check me though.

yeah... the upper/lower control arms will help with your launches in the quarter mile. I seem to recall some talk about the rear sway bar hurting launches though.

I might just go with the control arms and front sway bar for now.

You guys with just the front sway bar... you've noticed an increase in corner handling?
