You might notice the STB AFTER you stiffen up your suspension first. Sway bar.

For changing the dynamics of the car, definitely do the sway bars first. Make sure you match the front to the rear and with your spring rates, though.

As for stiffening the chassis, get weld-in subframe connectors BEFORE you get a STB, as those are much more nreeded.

You will. But for the money, I'd go with the Suspension Techniques 35mm bar, you can get the 35mm bar for about $150. I wouldn't bother with the rear right now.

SWAY BARS

Suspension Techniques

35mm (1.375”) front bar w/urethane bushings: $137.90
25mm (1”) rear bar w/urethane bushings: $130.00
Package (both bars): $255.00

Give Sam Jr. a call, he'll make sure you get the right one. It will be the best phone call you can make for your suspension.
