Front sway bars are a waste of money on these cars. Powell or bust really.

That rear bar looks puny and I could see the mount breaking off. Front bar would be wasted money. I've got a Powell on my car too.

That sway bar package will do nothing but make your car handle like ass. Luckily it is the same price as a powell hardcore car.

Go powell or go home.

Well for someone without much experience with a stiff chassis (not to say that I am by any means well experienced ) I'd say to start out with the Powell hardcore bar, not the XXX bar. If that is too pricey, the TTR rear sway bar worked well for me on the stock springs for about 2 years, and it's just a little less performance than Powell's hardcore bar but a lot cheaper.

If you are just looking to lower it, there's tons of springs out there, but if you want to lower it and handle as good or better than stock, you've only got a few choices. Pedders springs was the long time choice on this forum until Powell came out with his YYZ springs. YYZ version 1 sits .5-.75" lower than stock with a great ride to them, and YYZ version 2 sits a little lower than V1. Pedders is cheaper than the YYZs, but considered not as good.
