Default Anyone with F55 shocks/Johnny O'Connell Sways??

All,

I'm looking to upgrade the sway bars on my 06 F55 running stock sized non-runflats. I'm trying to decide between the Z51 sways and the PFADT Johnny O'Connells; it's easy to find testimonials about the F55/Z51 combo, but couldn't find much on the F55/Johnny Os. Anyone running this setup that can speak to it?? How do the two sway bars compare to one another with regard to handling, ride harshness, etc.? I don't mind a harsher ride, used to have a C5 with full Z06 suspension that I absolutely loved.

I've been looking around at sway bars for my Base non-z51.

The best values are to either buy Z51 sways for $200 or the Eibach kit from Ebay for $350 which appears comparable to Hotchkis and the other large kits.

I haven't decided how big I really want to go yet but unless I find a great used deal it's going to be one of these.

I swapped out my Z51 for JO set up. Sways and shocks. I like it a lot. I have my stock Z51 F&R sways if interested.






Ps. Where are you getting JO's from they are OOB.

Thanks for the heads up - I had been out of the game for a little while and didn't realize that PFADT had gone out of business! Back to the drawing board...
