Message	Well to change the subject on recent events. I was getting some suspension parts and as I was looking at SPL's website I noticed this: “Sway bars After testing the available aftermarket sway bars, we found that the stock TT sway bars to be superior for overall suspension balance. The relative stiffness of aftermarket bars promote understeer, and their rear endlink design has a tendency to bind and create snap-oversteer. In addition, hollow stock bars weigh significantly less than solid aftermarket bars. We switched back to stock TT sway bars on our road time-attack 300ZX. However considering that the stock rear endlinks have 10+ year old bushings, and are not of a solid design (unlike the front), that significantly reduces the effectiveness of the stock rear sway bar. Therefore we recommend refreshing the stock TT sway bars with new urethane mounting bushings and our solid rear sway endlinks." For those of you that track your car and have had both stock and aftermarket what do you suggest?? Notice a difference? Thanks
