Took the time today and removed the Eibachs and installed the Bwoody springs. I didn't have all the problems that other's had. What I was looking for is the rear to be a little lower. With the Eibachs it was at 31" front and a little over 31 1/2" in the rear. With Bwoodys it's at 30 7/8" at all four corners.
It looked great with the Eibachs, it looks even better now. Also got the Bwoody sway links and the Addco sway bars front and rear installed. What a different all round, flat and tight. What made the biggest different, who knows being I installed them all at the same. Now on to the next new mod.

Nice..... can't wait to get mine. Waiting for Andy to email me the total. How much were the sway bars? I've got the Links, just need sways.

I got the rear from a forum member for $50.00 and paid $155.00 on ebay for the front. Can't wait to hear how the turbo works out. I'm trying to decide myself which way to go.

Well you're no help. :D Guess I'll check around EBay for another lucky buy or something. Are there any vendors on here that sell them you know of?

Nice!

I bet that really tightens it up! I have the bwoody links and I just ordered the springs.

Did you compare the size of the swaybars. I'm wandering how much difference, beefing up the swaybar a little bit?

Didn't measure but I think the rear is 1/8'' larger dia and the front aprrox a 1/16" or so.

Did it roughen up the ride at all?

No, just made it feel a lot tighter and it corners very flat compared to before.
This morning I drove some back roads that I like to drive hard and drove them again after the install. It was night and day. Driving the same speed that I drove this morning there was hardly any body lean at all and it seemed glued to the road. Not very scientific but I felt more in control on a road I drive all the time.

Does anyone have the part number for these? Their catalog doesn't exactly have our trucks listed. Are they the same as other GC's?

Here's a little secret...... don't buy these sway bars from his EBay Account. Buy them from his online store instead. They're cheaper!! You'll save about 20-30 bucks I believe!!

I have the same setup except w/ the eibachs and 315/275 runflats. I can take coners damn hard - actually my rear end will give out before i even hear a squeel of a tire...actually i havent even heard a tire squeel yet on any hard turn :D
