I think that ryangambrill is referring to the stabilizer bars, not weight distributing hitches
. I have the Cayenne Turbo stabilizers on my V10; helps flatten out the cornering a bit with the heavy diesel. I would recommend the mod -- both front and rear bars, though, to preserve balanced handling.Did the ride become any stiffer over style of bumps like rail road track crossings?I think that ryangambrill is referring to the stabilizer bars, not weight distributing hitches
I'd be interested... Do you recall the price? (if you don't mind me asking...)
Pardon my lack of technical terminology on this subject, but I was always under the impression that larger(stiffer) sway bars would take away from the side to side independence, of an "independent suspension." One would feel this effect when crossing over bumps in a diagonal fashion. Going back to the rail road question I asked, I should have been more specific. Crossing over the tracks in a very perpendicular fashion, would make no difference in ride, regardless of what sway bars you had on. However crossing over some serious track line diagonally, I was always led to believe that with significantly stiffer sway bars you would feel this. Obviously, the on a grander scale, the off roaders here would notice the decreased articulation.

Price in Oct. 2009 was $311 plus $32 shipping Oregon to Colorado.
Hard to imagine that much of a price increase; are they including the air shocks too?
That is insane, I know that there have been some increases from Porsche, but this seems extreme.
I know what u mean. I have H-Sport Comp front and rear sways on my Mini. Front is 27mm and rear is 25.5mm....
. The rear end lifts up about a foot coupled with my PSS9's, AP 6-point cage and strut bars tying it all in...
Ordered front and rear sway bars last week, will advise once they arrive and are installed...
To be honest I'm already concerned about not getting the right parts, I didn't spend enough time on it, cost was less than 300 for front + rear sway bars... I have stats about them in an email somewhere, I think the front is 38-39mm and rear might be 26 or something like that, could be off a little. Not terribly concerned, Jeff, the guy I dealt said returns were no problem!
