I've got their rear sway bar. I love it, huge difference (over not having one in my case). I still have the stock v6 tires and they're a little small for such a stiff swaybar but I've made due and it was the best handling purchase I've made. I plan on getting their front one soon.

I've got the rear too and a front GT take off. That along with Eibach springs are the extent of my suspension mods, I love the way it handles, it's like it's on rails.

In case you haven't noticed, Hellwig is offering these on sale; $110 front, $150 rear - all hardware included. If you're interested, call Hellwig direct at 800-367-5480 and ask for Nancy.

I have front and back on my V6 and love the combo. You will notice an immediate improvement. Eibachs are next.

I have both on my 06 V6 Auto.
Nancy was super nice and the total was around $300 with shipping to Minnesota.
(Be sure to tip your UPS Driver, those boxes are nasty to lift)

I'm running both on the softest setting.
It seemed to make a huge improvement in how it feels in the corners without making the ride harsh at all.

Compared to the Hellwig, the stock front bar feels like it's made out of Coat Hanger Wire.

The Eibachs were a great improvement over the stock springs I'm still ready for sway bars though.
