>  Just how much better are aftermarket swaybars? 



They do amazing things for your car's handling - and that's not just

handling in the "how fast can I go around a skidpad" sense, but handling in

terms of transient response, stability, etc.  You'll love the feel of them -

zipping around corners with your car flat is an amazing feeling.  Doing a

quick "left-right" swerve is also much better - a stock car feels almost

tippy in comparason.





>Just how much better are aftermarket subframe braces than factory ones?



I doubt there's much difference in the front ones.  The RB braces connect

with 4 botls, the factory ones with 2. They're all in line with each other,

though.  The ones on the rear are almost definitely better because of the

triangulation - they attach four separated points together instead of 2.

It's your call on those - you may not feel much difference unless you drive

very hard or on really bumpy roads.



Keith and Baby, who had no braces to start with.
