I was only referring to the stock rims. The car won't handle right with 225s instead of 205s unless you upgrade the sway bar.

I'm planning to start Tae-Bo to gain more lean muscle and lose fat in the process.

My hopes to reduce roll starts with me!

Just lay down and drive, install mirrors to see where you are going. This should help with lower center of gravity.

Per your website, the Muz bar is 50% stiffer than stock. The Gendron, Comptech (competition), and Saner bars all max out at more than double the stiffness of the stock bar.

Keep in mind, however, that stiffer is not necessarily better, especially if you (you the prospective sway bar purchaser, not you Muz) intend to run stock-sized street rubber. Which bar is right for you depends on the rest of your setup and how much oversteer you feel is acceptable or desirable.

Neuspeeds and whatever shocks will not help in autcross. I want to eliminate the body roll as well. Comptech adjustable front sway bar is very beefy and adjustability is a bonus. The car doesn't move around nearly as much with this. It's expensive, but probably worth it.

I have purchased the muz front swaybar, but i haven't intalled it yet. should i get the rear swaybar as well? some say changing the front is enough to reduce oversteer on the s2k. what is the advantage of changing both front & rear swaybars? and what is the advantage of changing only the front swaybar?

thanks~

I've been toying with the idea of swaybars as well. Does anyone have any opinions on the saner bar vs. the Muz bar for general twisties driving (non-track applications)? Should I replace front and rear?

Thanks!
