I have the springs on my car now and i love them, the drop is just the right height for me and he ride is like stock. Dont have to worry about blowing the stock strus out quick like other springs either. Some people may feel they let the car still sit to high but i like em. The sway bar ive also heard good things about. Actually i just ordered one 2 days ago should be here soon. So i went with the combo. Thats my .02 i know other people will give there opinions too. Use them all and make your decision all we can do is give advice good luck and i hope we all help.

I preface this with I dont know how serious you want your car to handle and what kind of ride you are willing to live with for a daily driver.........Ok....Here we go.... First of all I suggest choosing a spring/shock or coilover setup before you play with sway bars cause that can have a BIG impact on which ones are best for you. Also make sure that the Spring Rate and Dampener Rate are well matched to prevent that springy-bouncy feeling ride......Now for the swaybars. First of all the Purpose of a Sway bars in general is to flatten out the ride of the car and ADD/Compliment its handleing ability/suspension choice. Now taking that into account you can also adjust HOW it handles. IE: If you have alot of understear (Push) that you want to tighten up the rear sway bar to compensate and shift the load over the front tires.....THE LONG VERSION.....If the rear is set up tight and you are turning into a hard right hand turn....the rear swaybar will force the right rear tire to lift (compress) off the ground (three wheeling). This forces the other tires (Mostly the front right) to take up the weight load and therefore reducing understeer. Now if your sway bar(s) are so beefy that they create oversteer in highspeed long corners but you dont want to take any tension out of the rear you can put in rear camber links and find tune the rear end....Granted that I only suggest this for racing application as it can cause your tires to wear extremely uneven and also will effect feel on when driving on public roads. I could go on and on and on about this but I have already said to much....If any of you want to know/discuss more let me know. I am happy to help if I can.
