Any drawbacks to installing Carrera sway bars on a SC

I have acquired a set of 87 sway bars for my SC, just curious if anyone else has made this change. Pros/cons, thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards-

JS

It's a common upgrade and a good one at that. Hard to find any cons. I guess if you had to nitpick you'd say that the torsion bars should be upgraded as well.

you will need the bushing replaced as the bigger bars require different rubber bushings

The 22mm front bar can be a major PITA to fit into the a-arm bushings.
With the new G50 rear bar, check the clearance under the transmission crossmember after you install it. Mine was extremely close (but it does fit without rubbing).
It's a nice, but subtle, upgrade.

I have them on my SC. A good upgrade, IMO.
