Default Swaybar

If I put a bigger swaybar on my car, what will I gain in stability and response?

BIGGER wont fit your, you need a THICKER sway bar.
Get a TL-S sway bar for your 6th gen and it will handle alot better plus its cheap around 60 bucks.
Search and you will find alot thread about TL sway bar upgrade

Bigger, thicker, just semantics.

And yes, it'll improve handling by decreasing body roll.

You can go with a mild setup like a rear TL-S/CL-S alone, or you could go for a complete front/rear setup like Eibach, etc.

Not that hard, but it may be tough if your bolts are rusted.

Yep, if you live in the "rust belt" it can be a pain. To release the nut on the endlinks, you need to hold the "bolt" part of the endlink with an allen wrench. So you'll need an open/box wrench here, rachet and socket won't work on the endlinks.

Other than that, it's pretty self explanatory.

its more a matter of trying to get beneath your car to actually reach the bolts and endlinks. other than that, if youve got all the necessary parts youre good to go.
