little help

A buddy that I'm gonna leave unnamed (due to site reference) gave me a f41 front sway bar, I was wondering if I'll see any improvement over FE1 front sway bar as far as handling goes or would it be a waste of time it buy poly bushings and mount F41 on my FE1 Rally sport

IIRC, the F41 is a 34mm bar, the FE1 a hollow 36mm. If you're currently running the 36/24 combo, I'd stick with it.

My bad. The FE2 is the 36/24 combo. Check the following link for more info:
