Default Thinking about sway bars..

I want to work on improving the handling of my car.. Ive got the lca and eibach sportline springs right now. (But ive got an adj steeda uca and dspecs that are going in soon). I want my car to "hug the road." I drove my cousins s2k, and its got me jealous ...I was checking out the granateli front and rear sway bars on lethal for $399.99. Thoughts / suggestions?

if you want to go real stiff go with hotchkis, H&R or hellwig

I drove my friend's Evo IV MR, and that thing "HUGS the road."
I don't think our cars would ever be able to handle that great or even close, unless they're setup to be a race car like the FR500, but who knows?

I got the BMR rear sway bar only, because while doing my research about sway bars, I read that the front ones are good enough stock. But recently, I've noticed some people starting to get front ones too, so I'd like to hear some input on whether or not they would improve handling.

i didnt notice too much difference going to my stillen front bar. i dont have it set very aggressively and i am probably dialing up my rear bar because i just went staggered and that goddamn understeer just came back

at least get a rear bar, its a big help

i have the hellwig front and gt take off rears, my v6 didnt come with a rear sway. so it was a great deal of improvement. hellwig, h&r, and hotchkis are imo the most aggressive.
