Body roll is cut way down. Car is super flat now. Great in the corners and feels super tight. The article from hotrod magazine really helped. Only set the rears to 2 and it is plenty for what I do for driving. Andy is super responsive and helpful when it came to answering questions. He even price matched a competitor. I will definitely buy from Andy again in the near future. He really cares about these rare cars. Very happy customer right now.

These sway bars are a great compliment to my BC BR coilovers. The coilovers made the car a whole different machine and the sway bars were the finishing touch. The car is significantly flatter through corners and feels great. I set mine to 2 in the front, 3 in the rear as per this article: http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/hppp-1002-hotchkis-sway-bars/ They tested the sway bars on a stock suspension though, so I don't know if that is the empirically best set up when running an upgraded suspension, but it works for me.

Had a chance to call and get some input. The tech was very patient, offered some solid advice and invited me to call back anytime for any other questions. Not necessarily to buy, just to ask questions! Awesome.
