Default Looking for Sway Bars

I am interested in installing sway bars front and rear on my 05S.

Any input on this is appreciated. I'm new to the sway bar thing.

I'm not too up on "street" sway bars, but I believe Comptech makes a front and rear set. I'm sure, with the company name behind it, they would be pretty good quality.

What kind of changes are you wanting in handling?

I don't have handling problems. I am trying to stiffen the car up to corner flatter.

I'm currently using a Cusco x Brace which helps a lot but I feel the need for something else.
I considered coilovers but I don't want to put that much money into it.

shocks and springs will benefit you more than swaybars, but they will also cost more.

I agree with SC Highlander.

You may really be looking for ride adjustability which can be more easily accomplished with shocks. <--Depending on the mileage on your car the OEM shocks may be needing replacement anyways.

I've had good luck with my Koni Yellows ($ 650 from Tire-Rack). In 2 minutes I can adjust them to soft for around town driving & then hard for Spirited Driving/Auto-X competition.

That being said, I am looking for a stiffer front anti-roll bar that has adjustable links.
