    This weekend I installed a one inch front sway bar on my 55 Cenury. The verdict: WOW!! There is much less body lean on hard cornering, less nose dive on hard braking, better directional stability on lumpy roads, and the understeer is gone (I would call it neutral: neither understeer nor oversteer). The ride is a little 'busier' but not objectional (I already had heavy duty springs).
    I got the bar from Quikor Suspension http://quickor.com/.
    Be advised that I had a little(?) trouble getting the bar. It took them two months to send the first bar which was wrong (they said they had a pattern); then 3 weeks after I sent a bar and links from one of my parts cars I get a correct bar but no link kit. Called again (call number 19 or 29...lost track), 3 days later get a second bar but still no link kit, 3 more days and I get a link kit and it is wrong. So I installed the bar with my old links.
    All this time they were friendly and did return phone calls and paid for the return shipping of their mistake. I am going to negotiate a price on that second bar so I can put it on one of my other 55 Centurys.
