RyanMBlue Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 SO I am in the market for my next mod. I have a CAI and a RMW Tune already. I am looking for something less in the "Butt Dyno" realm and more in the "Butt Gyro" realm. :motor: Something that makes the car handle better around some twisties. Anyone have any suggestions? Looking to keep it under $500 or so. Maybe front/rear sway bars? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cmcveay Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Hey Ryan, don't forget you also have an aftermarket downpipe and VIP Custom Designs exhaust! Yeah, for the $500 range, a sway bar would be right down your alley (not your Ali because she's Mark's Ali). 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
RyanMBlue Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 There are front sway bars and rear sway bars, are either of those better than the other? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cmcveay Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 That and the front is a royal PITA to swap out. The good thing about the sway bar is that it's a reasonably simple DIY job. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Awesome! Anyone have any recommended brands? I have seen NM Engineering all over the place. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
