Anti-Sway Bar Installation

[fxpthl]

Has anyone here installed after-market anti-sway bars on their CX 9 to help the handling? I would be interested in finding out if the typical body roll can be made less severe by adding better bars.

Funny you should ask. The CX-9 is the 1st car I've had that I felt did NOT need suspension upgrades. Granted I have the GT with the 20 inch rims and AWD for better weight distribution with a rear LSD that helps to "rotate" the car around the corner if you are applying throttle in a turn. I've installed RSBs in the first 3 cars I've owned including a 1997 Camry V6, 2004 Acura TL, and 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R.

For me i think it could use either a capabiltiy to lower the height during good weather (better cornering and slightly better mpg possible) and raise it during snowy weather. Sways bars might help its cornering (slalom at ~60 mph), to prevent instability at higher speeds (if you are brave enough to try them )

I think top model SUVs have that like Porsche and BMW. With their adjustable suspension, I'm sure they handle better than some cars.
One super SUV is the X5M. I did group drive through the twisty roads of Bear Mountain and an X5M joined us.
Not only is that thing sick fast but it can hold it's own around the corners.

Ok now back on topic...

My personal opinion is that CX-9 has a GOOD bit of torque steer. Anti-sway likely would help that out a little. But I would never get one because mine is just a family hauler, the few times that I am the only person in it...I'm going to Lowes like 1 mile away.
