just curious

i have a 06 ss s/c i have a dc sport strut bar but i want beter handling. i was wondering which after market sway bar will i feel a differance and if a after marget front sway is needed or should i stick with stock. i also want to do suspension but i dont want my car to be lowered to much because of my bodykit but i really want to feel a diferance. ive never tracked my car so i guess i would need aracing set up but i love the mountains and one day put it on a track what do you guys suggest?

Turbotechracing.com offers a great rear sway bar made by Progress technology. The DC FSTB will help; but you will have far more stability in cornering with the two working together.

Springs or coilovers are also a great mod for suspension.

Yup the Progress rear sway bar IMO is the best sway bar out there.

The sway bar would be a big help... but you may want to look at the progress springs too.. they wont lower you too much but they will defintely help out the handling.

^^^ They have an increased spring rate over stock, so it will not have as much "roll"
