a rear sway bar will give you more oversteer... which is the reason a lot of cars don't come with it, because your average driver can better deal with understeer than oversteer.

If you do the rears only, do you need to redo the front end alignment?

nope

Absoutly no probs w/ the install, nor any since. Dory's GLs have been on for 1 yr come mid Nov.

I was riding around on just springs for 10 months and w/ the addition of the sway bar handling has improved quite a bit.

F/R Springs and Bar would be best!

Maybe go for a ride in Dory if next meet up is before you decide?

JX3 thanks for the invite. If I get a full set you know anyone in the area to do the install? I'm getting too old for all of this.

Sorry, can't help you there. Dory's were installed by Derrick, TCRNCOB's (Theresa) son, at a dan'd's home.

I have the rear leveling springs on mine, and no you don't have to align the fron end. You will have to adjust the headlights.

I installed Eibach sportline springs and Koni shocks and struts. It rides and drives great. I have no problem with bottoming out...
