CR sway bars
I have an 06 S2k and was wanting to go with bigger sway bars. The car has Bilstein PSS9 coilvers set at level 2. (1 being stiffest) The car has more body roll than I would like and was wondering if some better bars would correct this without hurting skidpad performance.
That said, are the CR say bars a good upgrade or is there any difference in sizing between the two?
Thanks, also what brand otherwise is recommended?

Hmm, I don't know about that. I switched from MY03 to MY08 front springs and I did notice a difference. I am even considering getting MY00/01 rear sway bar--same diameter but slightly thicker. There's got to be a way to increase front grip... (within S2K Challenge rules).

Well, I'm thinking of going with a thicker rear sway bar to increase front grip (if it works that way). My suspension is stock MY2003, except for MY2008 front springs (slightly stiffer), J's S2 camber kit front, SPC camber kit rear, 225/255 NT01. Alignment: camber is set to -3.0 all around, 6.2 caster, 0 toe front, 1/8 total toe-in rear. Once I get my BSK in, I'm thinking of going with 1/16 total toe-in.

I just upgraded to a Grendon FSB so I have a CR bar sitting in the garage. I noticed the rear end was more settled over the stock MY02 FSB. PM me if anyone is interested.
