Mazdaspeed suspension vs. Racing Beat / Koni

I've read a lot of positive revies on the RB sway bars. sounds like they may be stiffer than the MS sway bars..

I may order some of this stuff at the same time i buy my car - and get it all installed and rolled into my financing. the dealer will do MS stuff - not aftermarket.

I am leaning toward doing the flywheel. maybe intake/ehxuast. as far as suspension mods, I would like to do sway bars as I know I'll get a lotof bang for my buck, and possible shocks/springs.

if i were to go all mazdaspeed - vs doing konis/springs and RB sway bars - is it really a big difference or would it be abou the same?

it would be easier to just ge the dealer to stick all this stuff on and be done with it, but I also want to get the best bang for my buck.

if RB sways are tons better (for less money) i'll do that. but if the MS bars will give me the same suspension feel/handling for only a bit more money, and I can get the dealer to put them on and my warranty is intact, i'd be inclned to just let them do it.

not looking to track the car. i just want it to handle better than stock. stock is great, but too much body roll.

MS swaybar, not much more stiff than stock and nonadjustable. One advantage is that they are hollow (light). Downside is that they are expensive.

RB swaybar set is stiffer than MS set. Only problem is that they are nonadjustable.

Look into Progress Technology (stiffer than the above two, with adjustability, and a hollow front bar). They are the best bang for the buck.
