Default xb sway bars

in everyday driving would this mod be appropriate (meaning worthy of $160.00) or should i spend that money on something more practical. i do drive crazy in traffic but i got skills when it comes to the wheels. my commute consist of 5 min. to work and once a month a 200 mile trip down i-40 which is pretty much straight down here at the coast.

I knew after I test drove an xB with swaybars that I had to have them. So yes it is worth the money. My car feels so perfect just hoping on the freeway makes me fall in love with them again. I recomend it. :D

Definitely, one of the best things you can do to tune your ride. From there the sky's the limit, it is stealth but, you feel it everytime you go for a drive...

if you think you dont need them well then why ask right? im just trying to help you out with these bars they really do help. they handle better and gives the car a tighter feel and much quicker reesponse. also how are you gunna compare yourself to a moive thats a crock of shyt that movie is stupid and bullshyt. in your head you may think your as good as the moive but in reality your not. it does take confidence but that only takes you so far. im not trying to knock your skills but you are not the best. niether am i. yes we both have skills but we could all use the help.
