i like your car a lot!
nice wheels and brakes. . also like the headlights and HT. debadged and smoked sides. your car is CLEAN
do you have swift sway bars? if so, how do you like them? do you have the front and rears? how did it affect the handling characteristics

thanks for the comments. i am getting my wheels reanodized to black in about two weeks 
yeah i have the swift front sway bar.. i didnt want a rear sway bar as i was hoping to induce more understeer (so, less oversteer) by making the front stiffer. it definately stiffened it up. it's hard to tell exactly HOW much it did because i had new springs and shocks (spoon showa dampers and swift springs) installed at the same time. the car definately doesn't roll as much as it used to, and handling has become much sharper. i also switched to UK alignment so like i said, a bunch of things to help improve my handling made it hard to narrow down exactly what difference in feeling it made. i've had sway bars put on other cars before though and they have made a big difference. my car handles exactly how i want it to for the street for now.. i do want stiffer swift springs, but its hard finding information on how stiff of springs these shocks can handle

^^ thanks. i have 10k swift springs on my t1r coilovers right now. they are stiff, but not too bad. the rear feels really bouncy at times though.
if you change your spring rates make sure you get your shocks revalved
