Active curve system without airmatic
Howdy everyone!

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade standard sway bars to active curve system, if my car does not have airmatik on it? Also are front and rare sway bars enough to be installed? Or there are more parts to be added?

thanks

You got a trailer hitch? It's not compatible even if you can retrofit the ACS.

Nope I don't have the hitch, but it seems I have the place for it, so no way to implement it on my car right?

I have not really investigated retrofit of the ACS, but based on my reading so far, it's not easily done, you have to install hydraulic system, sensors, change how the sway bars are attached, etc...I am going to hazard a guess of easily $3000-$5000. Lot's of parts, lots of labour. Good luck!
