I have the KW V3 coilovers and am thinking of getting the Hotchkis swaybars. I wanted to know if anybody out there has a similiar setup so I can get some input on how much ride quality is going to be lost. I drive mine daily and track it 4-5 times a year. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sway bars impact cornering and maneuvering over bumps. It will be a bit stiffer going over bumps and into driveways with humps, but normal ride is the same as your KW v3s

part of the road and the other side is on smooth pavement.

This is minimal, but it is noticable.

The coilovers do much more to affect ride quality than do the sway bars.

Depending upon how you set your coilovers, the ride is noticeably stiffer, but not remotely unsatisfying.

With sway bars, I noticed NO difference in ride quality but the car is MUCH flatter in the turns and virtually all traces of understeer are gone.

I have your EXACT setup...couldn't be happier.

Thanks a lot guys, you helped me made up my mind. After tracking the car I decided would like less body roll and less understeer and so its time to perfect the ride a little more with the swaybars.

Thanks, after the track I decided but needed a little assurance I guess :-)

OT but what does the "DTE ECU upgrade" do for your car?

More power of course and better throttle response,http://www.chiptuning.com
