quick question... in normal (i.e. fast but not track) driving which of these yields more positive results? what would the results of having BOTH installed on your car be?

i know this is probably obvious, but i'm the village idiot (grin).

thanks,

They both make a noticeable difference installed alone. The x-brace reduces flex and as a result sharpens the steering response. The Mugen bar reduces front body roll changing the feel around a corner and reduces oversteer.

The two together make the car feel very responsive, almost

I concur with cdelena. I have both, the stabilizer has the most noticable impact day to day, the X brace is most noticable in tight corners

So, would you then expect the stabilizer bar to reduce the car tendency to let the rear end loose when making sharp turn under low or medium speed?
I found the best way is to go in at reasonable speed and apply gas carefully while making the turn, could it increase the entry speed?
