stock de carbon shocks with 35mm front hollow anti-sway bar - overkill?
the subject says it all - is that overkill do you guys think? how do stocker decarbons do as far as handling is concerned?
only reason i ask is because they're just SO cheap!!!!
thanks!

The De carbons suck! The best thing to do is call Sam. He has revalved bilsteins or a koni/bilstein combo (which I have and it is awesome). You won't beleive how your car will handle with the 35mm bar.. this is the shait, bud!

that's $600....
im trying to keep on a budget hehe .... i have 100k mile decarbons now and have a cheeeeeeeeap set of decarbons in-hand ... just wondering if the 35mm bar would be a decent upgrade for the time being until i can afford some nice revalves or AT LEAST bilstein hd's hehe...
peace

The bar is a great upgrade no matter what.
Everyone is right though, the stock shocks are terrible. Save your money and get some good ones. It's not worth ripping the front suspension apart just to put stock deCarbons back on.
Where in Gwinnett are you?? I'm in Lawrenceville.
