Depends on the sway bars. Sways are just another spring. Adding them adds more spring to that axle of the car.

99% of people in the world just put them on stiff and are done with it since all they want is a car they can rip around city streets.

i set the front sway to full soft and the rear sway to full stiff to enhance a lil rotation from the rear axle... this thing has a tendency to nose over into corners on my "test roads" and wants to push out into the weeds. maybe this will help it a little... well that and the new tires that should be here wed or thurs...and the k-sports too..hmmm me likey

Are you on stock springs/struts currently, Travis?
It still should feel much flatter when cornering even on the stock springs/struts.
Ask Phil over on AlbanyUnderground.net how he does at the tracks with stock springs/struts and just aftermarket sways

Prodrive springs, Group-N strut tops, bunch of hardened bushings.
Does fine for a daily driver, not too harsh at all.

My car shifts for me! It does it in less than .1 seconds Short Shift that!

Rofls!

No sometimes I wish I had a manual... But when people talk about having to replace clutches/trannies... I'm just glad I have an automatic!

All my other cars are manual... Hell of all the cars I've owned only 3 were automatic...

as far as my suspension...
I havent gotten to drive my car with all the goodies on yet, because well, its still in the garage on the jack stands with the rear subframe completely apart... And now I kinda want to replace the struts while I'm in here.. I noticed the stockers are leaking externally... What a money pit...

Last summer I just had Tien S-Tech Spings and Helix 24mm Rear sway bar and It was an OK Daily Driver ride...Maybe a bit too stiff and the front bumper took alot of abuse...
