I read the first negative review on IPD sway bars I have ever seen on IPD'S site 200

Wow, now I am not sure what to do. When I arrived home from work, my used set of 25/22mm bars (complete with IPD poly bushings) were sitting on the porch. Now I am not sure if I want to sacrifice that sure footed feeling of the stock bars for no body roll.

I may just put the front 25mm bar on the front and see how it feels. Is it possible to do this and leave the stock bar on the rear without adversely affecting cornering in the rain?

Either way, I can always try them out in the rain, and sell them if I don't like them. If it effects that incredible ability to stick to the road in the rain that these cars have, I may sell them. As mentioned, I am blown away by how well/predictable these cars are at sticking to the road, no matter what in stock form.

Would this explain why my 940 turbo has never felt as sure footed in the rain as my 240's always have? My 940 is very unpredictable in the rain, and has caught me out a few times with slides, which I am not used to. What I am saying is that the 940 turbo's for sure have stiff sways on them, could this make them more prone to slide?

Oh yeah, this 240 will only be driven in the rain if I am caught out in it. I drive a POS 1999 grand cherokee in the snow and rain.
