I'm just curious if anyone has any personal experiance with the Next Level performance sway bars sold at PartsForYourCar.com.
For $280 for the set plus shipping it's not a cheep mod. I have access to lift that will cost me next to nothing so I'm not too worried about installation.

I just want to know from personal experience if it was a noticeable change or not and if you think it was well worth the $280 clams. I also would really like to get the Eibach springs, either before I purchased sway bars or at the same time.

My wife and I are all about the corners, and exit ramps. Cause if I can't beat them in a straight line I'll smoke them in the twisties. :)

Well, I can say dollar for dollar any suspension mod is the most effective in terms of measured performance.

Also...being that the Grand Am is typical FWD, it will have a lot of understeer. To correct this a sway bar in the rear will help tremendously. Aso having stiffer Struts in the rear than in the front will effectivly negate alot of understeer.

Our car has about 46,000 miles on it. So its about time fo rnew struts anyhow. Since the Eibachs don't lower it much I'd like to install some Monroe Sensitrac struts.

Check with the gymkhana, autocross & SOLO II people. They swap sway bars depending on what tires they are using and how tight the track is.

TNL's sway bars are going to be my next suspension mod (coming for x-mas). I've heard nothing but good things about these bars, especially with energy suspension polyurethane greasable bushings. There is some slight modification that needs to be done to the brackets to make them fit (grinding the fronts and bending the rears, IIRC), but it seems easy enough.
