how much better does the bar respond after the bracket is on there...just plain geometry tells me it would be stronger
Pontiac- wider is better (hah)

mine bushings fell apart and the swaybar was grinding into the bracket. warranty covered it
I put my regular wheels and tires back on today and took the winter steelies off and went for a drive... OMG. This thing handels AMAZING. I mean, it was really good before, but the difference the bushings made really is noticeable. The car felt dead on in the turns and turn in was instant.
Are these the ones i should get?

The bar will function correctly. That is to say in the stock setup the bar is partially bent before it rotates. That's what ruins the bushings. With the bracket, the bar is forced to rotate as it was meant to and no unusual wear to the bushings occur. The result is a stiffer rear end and better handling.
Put my New bushing in today and said Goodbye to the Klunk. It does make the car handle a tad bit better, bvut the best thing is NO KLUNK. My bar had the paint rubbed off to and hte stock bushing were torn in several places. I hope these new ones last longer. My car is a daily Driver so we will see.

I did this but kept the stock bolts and didnt use treadlock, just some elbow grease. Clunk is completly gone and that car handles better than it did new. It made a 100% change in the handling for me at least. My stock bushings were completly ripped and broken into bits. The car handles like it should now.

hey guys i went to the AWR link in one of the first couple posts... i understand that these bushings are only 8 bucks each, but then why is shipping 12 dollars? i'm paying 30 bucks for something that should have soct only 16 or 17?
is there any other place to get these that would cost less shipped?
