Helwig Sway Bars? - 5/1/2008 5:28:07 PM

So I know many people have them, and since they seem to make a night and day difference over the lack of sway bars I have now, I am interested in them.

Where did you all get them and how many beans did you drop for em?

I just saw a group buy that went on for this a while ago, any chance you know the name of the man or woman who represented Helwig that I could get in contact with?

Thanks!

FM

Just give Hellwig a call and speak to Nancy. She setup the last group buy and I am pretty sure there is only one Nancy who handles group buys for forums :)

I got the Hellwig rear a couple years ago and it kicks ass! I went through Nancy, she was very helpful. I don't remember the price but it wasn't much more than $100.

i'm pretty sure the gt takeoffs are a lot weaker than the helwigs...

and the helwigs are adjustable- always a plus

I talked to Nancy yesterday, she was very nice.

She quoted me the price, of:

$110 for the front
$150 for the rear

The company is based in CA, so shipping to me (NC) was $30..

I just got the rear to start, and I'll see how it goes.

Siberian.mist- I got the Helwig for a couple reasons.

First, it IS adjustable (though I will probably never adjust it..lol).

Second, it has a warranty if something goes wrong.

Third, it is a stronger, more quality piece.

If you guys are interested, give Nancy a call too. 800-367-5480

I'll let you all know how it feels after the install.

No problem man.

They are located in Visalia, CA 93292 (just looked at the web site..lol)

You could def save on shipping driving out to pick them up.. grr.. haha

I'll let you know how the new rear sway feels. from what I can tell this is a big change over from stock.

Anyone with a Hellwig have a suggestion for the handling setting? I know there are 3..

Why not go AGGRESSIVE?
