I think that's my whole issue. If going through the trouble of taking out the old, why not replace them with something that will make a big difference in ride and performance.
You really won't believe how great the handling is changed once you put some better aftermarket sways on it.

I guess that's my thing. I never have driven a car with aftermarket sways so I wouldn't know the diffrerence. Since I personally don't mind doing the swap I might just do it. I wasn't planning on doing sways in the future since I never really drive that hard and don't plan on doing road racing.

Doesn't matter, you'll know the difference from what you have now to where you'll be with aftermarket sways. Like I said, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE and I don't drive hard nor do I race but I'm all about the handling for a performance car and this mod is definitely it. Just saying my man. Of course you have to do what's best for you but this is a must do mod from my perspective. Good luck with it and what you do.....

It makes me glad you think this just because I didnt know if it'd be worth since I've never done sways.

I might look at just doing aftermarket ones. Because according to Justice Pete the ones that i got are FE4s but that means that i would need new lower control arms and based on other things i have read from PFDAT that may be a problem with the V6 and their breaks.

Yea, if they're FE4, they won't work with the v6 brakes they will rub. None will work except for the Pedders ZL1 Sways. And you'll need the new LCAs

What sways do you have? Im thinking of going hotchkis with my suspension things since i already have their brace and since I want to lower only an inch all around.
