so...... it does make a difference. right? assuming one is running on stock suspension and springs it will be stiffer. thats what i'm getting from the thread....

so, in terms of feel good factor... does it contribute much?

They aren't the same as the ap1. The steering rack is and I think thats it. I bought just the front bar to take out some of that oversteer still haven't put it in. Its winter here. I'm looking forward to the summer where I can test it out on those long sweeping turns in the canyons!

I agree cr sway bars are a good choice compare to other jdms( tanabe, spoon sports, alex, ... ect) out there. It is less expensive and will give you a oem fitment and overall performance. But to gain the optimum benefit, consider getting x-brace, front/rear strut tower bars, fenders brace and aftermarket coilovers. I was thinking about getting the cr coilovers, but after extensive research, I find out that it is not good for a soft top because of the spring stiffness. Your soft top will vibrates alot on crapy roads, also due to the lack of re-enforcement braces. I think cr coilovers are good for hard top. Some members claimed the front gap will be higher.

to gain optimum benefit.. you need CR suspension and body stifter parts.. not aftermarket stuff.

I actually put the front CR bar and an rear AP1 27.2MM bar 4.5MM wall thickness on my S and I immediately noticed a difference in how much flatter it cornered. I chose the 27.2 over the 26.5 CR bar becuase I wanted to try something different. Plus I only paid 40 bucks for the 27.2mm bar used. I personally like the improvement, it made it much more neutral I feel, and with the new tires I wouldn't change a thing. I think I paid $150.00 for both bars.
