Roll stiffness rules!

So many people think that firmer shocks and springs are the keys to good handling, but they ignore (or don't understand) the importance of increasing roll stiffness to make all four tires work better. This is what stiffer sway bars do.
I put the no longer available Sport Chassis kit on my '96 a couple years ago (same as Aero suspension) and added SAS bars at the same time. While the new shocks and springs were nice, the bars are what really made the difference. 9Ks lean a lot in corners and can understeer badly when pushed. The bars significantly reduce roll and make the handling much closer to neutral.
