blusube Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Just installed Perrin swaybars on my GT wagon yesterday. All I can say is that if you haven't installed them yet, go do it! Immediately you notice that the car is much tighter and the family car lean is gone. This is my wife's car and she even enjoys it better. The ride does become a little bit more rough, but nothing significant. I need to take the car for a good run to see how whe does at the limit, but for right now I am very happy.

SUBE555 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I'm looking at just adding the rear, well between that and the JDM 20mm, but I'm thinking about the Perrin units more. You do just a rear or F&R? What is yours set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusube Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Got both the front and rear from MPJ Performance. The front is set at the stiffest setting and the rear is at the middle setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scans007 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I AGREE, on sunday I installed my Front/Rear Perrin adjustable Sways, and Front/rear endlinks.......and my bushings........I can't believe how awesome the difference is...I've drive REAL hard, fast corners and I am amazed...install was a PIA to get everything lined up and in place...but with levarage, all got into place.....I popped a tire off instead of dropping the exhaust.....I am set Soft up front, and Middle in the rear...so I can even go stiffer if I want...which I will just to check it out =) Not only that I can't believe how $30 dollar bushings can affect a shift so much....took away all the "notchy-ness" of the STS I have....

LandShark Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 As an LGT driver with Perrin sways/links on in front & back, I'm also very satisfied with the much improved handling. The elimination of all "sponginess" is the best part. The car knifes between lanes or around corners now without the plowing and lean. Unfortunately, like others who have posted here, my LGT just started to "moan & groan" at the front swaybar. It's seem correct that the yellow goo lube that Perrin provides just can't survive long. I need to find a good lube fast! Hate that it sounds like a 70's Buick now when I go slowly over bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05gtKID Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 NO i mean the FRONT.......what all do you have to remove to get the front one in to place, other than the plastic.. do you have to drop the exhaust from the motor to get the bar into position................ on the FRONT!

OK.....exhaust is in the rear and some have taken the cans off to put the rear on. Chill....have an eskimo pie! No plumbing has to be removed for the front. A support bracket is the only thing you need to unbolt (7-8 bolts) to put the front on. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
