Just installed RB Sways, MS Strut and Performance Brake rotors/Hawk pads

I already had Koni's/MS springs (MS CAI and exhaust). Just added the above sways and rotors/brakes. I'm surprised at how noticable the ride firmness has become even in a straight line! As others have noted, I find myself needing to be a bit careful of turning in too quickly as the handling is razor sharp. Very aggressive ride....but it has me smiling.

The only piece of kit that I haven't installed is the MS rear strut brace. Will I notice this addition?

does the stock endlinks work with RB front sway bar? i thought u have to buy the RB links which has a bigger head. Isnt that why people drilled a bigger hole on the control arm to make it fit?

The rear strut bar noticeably decreases high speed rear end braking instability. For the money, it's a very good mod; makes the car much more confidence inspiring under heavy braking.
