Opinion of drive without upgraded sway bars.

I think Dan just sold his sways to Tommy and was shocked how wobbly his car drove afterwards
TBH I was never that keen on the look of the SC430. I bought mine with the view that I would mod it from the outset.
But the car does wobble alot, infact it got some very very bad reviews and flopped bigtime in most countries as a result. The mods are there if you want them... and not if you dont

I think the Daizens are still the only ones. You can get them from Sewells

I too have a very much Stock SC430. I'm afraid that my ride will be a lot harsher. I have to get my roof to be lock tight first, then I may get the upgraded sways bars. Seems to me that the stiffer sway bars are a must have to get rid of the floaty feel.
p.s. is re-greasing the Daizens swaybar bushings a hassle??????? seems like it would be?

If you have bad experince actually using Daizen sways, you can share it here as well.
Last time I checked, Daizen is also one of the CL sponsers here.
There is no other company that makes sway bars for this car.

FALCON 1 here- I agree with both sides of the coin on this thread.
Going to the dollars expended- I spent God knows how much money on my 91 Porsche Carrera 2, mods helped but in the long run when I sold it they got all lost in the sale price and some folks actually wanted me to remove the mods and buy it stock. I finally did and had a load of used parts and accessories that I sold or traded for pennies on the dollar.
I ageee with the 2 car theory as well...........If I want a zoom zoom then I will go out again and buy a Z or used Vette.
BTW- After the spending of much money on the 911 mods..........I did have a wide smile though.
FWIW

My two cents.
You have two ends of the spectrum, a really fast car that rides horribly (comfort-wise) and a luxurious car that rides sluggishly (relatively speaking).
Now I believe it's easier to make a luxurious car faster than it is to make a fast car more luxurious. Plus, I'd rather drive a slightly less comfortable SC than a slightly more comfortable Corvette (which I don't believe is even possible :P).

But anything is possible on a car, is just money And the latest Corvette Z06 ride just as good as a stock SC430, the new ZR1 actually rides better due to it's magnetic shocks, not to mention they are in another world as far as speed goes. But they are still not as refine as the very old SC430 though.
