Default Do aftermarket sway bars really help?

It’s seems to me that there is about no roll whatsoever as I drive my car through corners. Do beefier sway bars really improve anything?

Swaybars are more about tuning the handling rather than decreasing perceived roll.

Front bar makes a pretty huge difference when you are doing stuff like autocross or track driving. Provides a lot of tuneability. But on this platform, especially with stiff springs, a big bar works best. I run a karcepts front bar. Best bar on the market IMO.

I agree with engifineer 100%. I will also add that unless you have some VERY stiff aftermarket suspension, if you are having practically zero roll whatsoever then you aren't cornering hard at all and are far enough from the limit that no suspension mods will make a difference.
