Sway Bar with Standard Shocks/Springs

Hey all

What, if any, difference would a Sway bar make with standard shocks and springs ?

Im trying to get rid of some of the body roll, but money is tight at the moment.

AQ decent sway bar tranfers twisting momentum to the wheels . reduces body roll and so it corners better , installing one when you have none will make a surprising difference , you get to do the sideways slip and hop on round-abouts

It will make a noticeable difference. I changed the Rear sway bar on my old car a 1990 Mazda 929 and it made a massive difference. you could feel the car trying to be held to the ground alot better.

You could use the existing sway bar and put thicker and stiffer bushes on it. JC knows lots about this and I bet he'll post here fairly soon, even though he's currently typing one-handed! LOL!

Yeah, calling for JC, callnig for JC. I just ordered some urethane bushes from SuperCheap, both the link pin ones and the chassis mount D ones to stiffer it all up, wanted to check I got the right ones. They pulled them out of their computer so I assume they'll be right. I was surprised to find a 28mm sway bar on my car, I for some reason thought it would be thinner.
