Would I notice the difference if I upgraded non-sport sway bars?
My car began its life as a nonsport car, but I've since added a Hypercoil/Koni springs and shocks combo. So its pretty stiff now, but I'm still not fully satisfied with the ride. I'm thinking of going to an 800lb Stasis coilover setup, but I thought maybe I'd upgrade the sway bars first and see if that made a difference. I was thinking of upgrading to a factory sport sway bar up front and a Neuspeed 19mm sway bar in back, set to "soft". Does anybody have any ideas on what kind of change this would produce?
Thanks in advance.

I have an LLtek rear set to Race myself, and i love it
It makes the car much more agile, and adds oversteer which I like. You have to learn to control said oversteer, but the car is infinitely more response now.

absolutely.....front will make a slight difference, rear will make quite a difference.......
I noticed a big difference going from sport package rear bar to an Lltek 20mm rear bar....and I've got it on the SOFT setting

hmmmm....
I've got Hypercoil/Neuspeed Bils, and even though the springs are staggered 450-front/500-rear, the 19mm rear antisway bar (on soft, currently) still doesn't make the car oversteer too much...in fact I'd like to try the bar on the stiff setting to see how it reacts. Since I'm used to it now though I don't want to try it until after my track day in a few weeks. If the stiff setting makes it too tail-happy, I don't want to find out by leaving the track. The Hypercoils may have been made to not require a stiffer rear antisway bar for flatter, more neutral response, but I love the suspension WITH the 19mm. At roughly $160 or so the bar is definitely worthwhile with your suspension too IMHO.

same setup..no problmes with oversteer here
maybe in rain or snow I might have to be careful, but I like the setup as is. I am going to throw in my oem sport front sway soon and see ho the setup feel with that.
