Message	...I'd have to say that the ST sway bars are a huge help in boosting your cornering. I don't have them but plan on getting them before long. For me, going from stock NA tires/wheels to bigger 17x9/255-40ZR17 tires made a huge difference due to larger contact patch, better tires, and stiffer sidewalls. The stock NA 225-50 tires roll over on their sidewalls under hard cornering, but the newer setup I have doesn't do that at all, and it really made a difference. BTW, that was after I had added the KYB AGX shocks, Intrax springs, and FSTB. But driving other Zs, the single biggest improvement IMHO comes from sway bars.
