Default 6th gen handling question

i am planning on changing my factory front and rear sway bars with the thicker neuspeed bars and adding the neuspeed upper strut bar. is all this worth doing if i have no plans to change the springs and shocks? will i feel a difference with just changing the bars?

So why no plans to lower your car? I think that would make the biggest difference in handling. Mine has greatly improved.

I'm still on factory springs and shocks, but I have almost 2 inches of a drop. My handling has greatly improved as well. BTW I'm stil on factory wheels too.

Am I missing something? How can you have 2 inches of drop with stock springs and shocks?

well..... i originally didnt plan on dropping the car but i suppose i will. you guys are probably right, new springs and shock will show more handling results that just changing the bars.

i just recently put on the tl-s sway bar and i'm running on stock springs/shocks for tires i'm using SP5000s and the difference is amazing. The car sticks much better during turns and a bit less body roll. The whole kit only cost $100cdn which is about 70us. The size is the same as neuspeed's rear bar. As for changing the front, i don't know if you'll feel that much of a difference since its already pretty thick, and how often are you going to feel oversteer in a fwd. There is still body roll during long on/off ramps but that can be changed with a good spring/shock combo.

TL-Type S sway bar = best mod for the money!
*My two cents*

The ride quality in my ride is not great, but feels fine for now. I do not bounce a lot. However my camber is messed up so the insides of my tires are burning up. Just got an alignment done a couple of days ago. Thats the best I can do until I buy camber kits.
