I put on the rear sway bar and drove to work. I had a horrible racket in the back end, especially when going slow. Turned out I had to tighten the nuts down quite a bit more (to about 60 ft-lbs using my trusty torque wrench this time). No more noise, and the car drives GREAT!!. What a difference. The car is solid as a rock on the freeway. Any added harshness is minimal. I have stock springs with KYB shocks and this setup with the bars seems to work extremely well. I want to go to 16" wheels and tires next, if I can find a setup I like and doesn't violate the current integrity of the system (like a goofy offset on the wheels that requires spacers or too wide tires, etc.)
