Rear sway
I recently put Hotchkis sways on my car. Front and rear. I did the front about 2 week before the rear. Now that the rear is installed, I notice the car reacts to the road much more than previously. Not sure how to explain. It's like every dip or imperfection in the road affects the car and pushes it around. The imperfection of the road aren't being adsorbed into the suspension, rather they are pushing the car around. I have coil overs and have had them at the same setting for over a year, and don't think that is an issue. I also changed the rear diff bushing, wheels and tires at the same time I did the rear sway. Then took the car for an alignment. The wheels and tires were brand new and road force balanced prior to install.
I've seen several comments that the rear sway should be left stock, so I'm wondering if the stiffer sway in the rear is causing this reaction? What is the down side to having a stiffer rear sway bar? Could it be causing this issue?
I'm having rubbing issues with my exhaust and the rear sway bar also, so I am planning to switch it back to stock anyway, but curious non the less.
