I've got to say adding a rear sway with the Tein SS really makes for a fun ride. I'm with you

that's surprising that you don't think the handling is that improved., I'd figure that would be a pretty fun ride in the twisties. also a thing to consider is that our cars are way heavier than an RSX or S2000 and their weight distribution is better as well. I bet your car can out handle most of the cars on the road. One of my favorite things to do is taking a wide off ramp at 80 and comming up fast on another car, it always freaks them out. of course I brake at a distance that is safe.
edit* I forgot to ask, what type of tires are you running. that could make a world of difference. This summer I got a set of AVS ES100s and my grip is amazing now as compared to the crappy Nankangs I had.
