Factory Swaybar installation - front AND rear!
« on: October 18, 2010 - 12:07:47 AM »
All,

I tried posting this earlier, but it didn't seem to make it (probably due to my attempt to attach photos - the forum erred with a "not enough space" message).   I've installed the front and rear swaybars in my Challenger, but it doesn't SEEM right...  the angle of the bar to the end links seems wrong.  I created a flickr account and loaded a couple snapshots of the front and back so you can see what I'm talking about.   I'd really appreciate any feedback!

Thanks!

I think they really change the look of the car but I like them.  I don't the size is much of a issue if you went with a smaller rim you would still have black rubber around it.  I don't would look as good it they 16 or 17's The spokes wouldn't stand out enough.  There bold and should look bold.  Now the important thing how do they look when you are smoking the tires.  I would like to see a picture of that too to make a final decsion. :woo:

Sounds like that was meant for the "did I make a mistake" thread about 20" wheels.
