Thanks Boxsey! I'm actually purchasing some KWV3 coilovers and wanted to know if I should do the sway bars at the same time (so I don't need to do a realignment twice). Since I don't need to realign for the sway bars, I'll likely delay the sway bar purchase for a bit.

Your approach is a good one in my book...you'll get to feel what happens to the car as a result of new suspension + alignment and then you'll feel the change when you do the sway bars later. You may even be so happy with the new suspension that you won't bother doing the sway bars for some time. If at all. If you do both at once, you've no benchmark to assess the results.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts after the KWV3s

Sure would be easier to install the front bar while everything else is happening though...

For sure.

I removed my stock front bar to update the bushings while my whole front suspension was in pieces and it was still fiddly to navigate the bar through the mess down there.

I would imagine the thicker H&R bar would be more challenging, especially if the rest of the suspension is in the way.

Just put H&Rs on Daffy this past week. Feels good on road but haven't been to the track with it yet. I am heading to COTA with it in two weeks so I should have some impressions soon.

That's sorta what I was thinking, too. Plus I'm adding some safety equipment, so my P-car budget is definately maxing out for the year. I ordered the KW V3s on Thursday night but they're on back order so no ETA.

Yeah, that was my original thought, but then I looked at my P-Car budget. I'm already pushing it with the suspension and I might decide to purchase a set BFG Rivals yet this year.

I'm looking forward to reading a track report.
