Front sway bar is definitely not bling, as you can't see it unless the car is on a lift. It is, however, an excellent mod for improving handling.

A good sway bar is functional. Underbrace(x-brace) are somewhat functional. STB's are bling only. I have all three.

I think they said that an x brace is the best thing u can get to actually feel an improvement.
Psychological difference maybe. This was the first stiffening mod for me. Most people don't drive their cars hard enough to feel a difference. I'll tell you what it is definitely good for. It protects the oil pan from scraping. It has saved that part of my car more than once. So in that light, it's definitely worth its salt.

My first mod was purchasing a 2nd set of OEM wheels and Victoracer tires for autocross. A Comptech sway bar came next, then the rest of the budget went into improving throttle response and power.

Next project will be the most costly, with larger/lighter wheels & tires, plus suspension upgrade.
