Default Installed Hellwig swaybar today!

Took about 2hrs and a couple of test drives. I have to say, I had it on the softest setting at first and it was a dramatic improvement, but then I adjusted it to the stiffest and it was an unbelievable feeling. No more body roll, didn't have to take foot off of throttle for sharp turns and overall great steering response. I cannot wait to take it on freeway on ramps to get a good test of this bar.

Only pain I ran into during install was taking metal clip off for brake line adjustment/movement. That's it.

I would type a little more about the install and test drives, but it's a pain to type on an iPad. Anyways, if you guys have any questions let me know. I highly recommend this sway bar. Thanked my wife a thousand times for the great Christmas gift.

Ask her if she needs another husband. She wouldn't have to wait until Christmas to buy me the sway bar, my birthday is in January.

I found that the middle setting was too stiff when towing.
