The price is certainly right.   How is the daily driving?  It should be better if the rest of the suspension is in good shape...or so I would believe :)
ON my car
Daily driving and up and down movement is very good
here it comes BUT you need to get use to it as it feels like a strange over steer????
i can now launch the car straight with NO air bags and take a 30 MPH turn at 60 or better with little to no lean.
i have two videos one with out and with and you can clearly see the BIG deference.   

How is the ride quality?

I want comfort - my main use for the car will be cruising, very little track runs.

If the sway bar is connected to the axle and the frame it won't change the ride at all Mark, except in corners. If it attaches to the lower arms it can because it will creat a binding issue with the suspension.

it does add to the spring rate so that on a wavy, or irregular, road, it will stiffen up the ride a bit, but that can be a good thing when conditions get bad and you need ride control.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

OK your driving down the Highway cruising at 65-70 Mph and a turn comes up guess what, your not leaning all over the place it sits nice and level.

Finally got my mod on the Hellwig bar to make changing the setting much simpler.
