Cool, looks like your on a roll when it comes to Sound, Suspension, and Under Hood goodies.
I am thinking about a strut bar. Anything that helps with those pesky turns.

yeah i am slowly gonna do full suspension all the sway bars in the world. as soon as my stock struts go i am gonna get some tein adjustable shocks. the tc really sucks at taking turns. my last car was an 03 lancer oz with some eibach lowering springs. damn that thing could handle turns.

The TRD unit is pretty good. When set on 'race' you'll deffinately notice the improvement, but it'll till be soft enough to run the stock front bar without the car's balance being out of whack. I understand that replacing the front sway bar is a task and a half.
