IIRC, the front suspension we have, pre-1995+, has a skinnier front sway bar and that the front sway bar is attached to stanchion arm. Some folks noticed that the set-up made steering not that responsive - does not have that "tight" feel. The upgraded suspension eliminates that feel and you get more of a steering responsiveness since the sway bar is connected to the control arm. Since you have 17" while your struts and shocks are nearing replacement, then you may have a softer ride, so to speak. My car has Bilstein HD struts/shocks, steering rack clamp, and rear sway bar. Although I have 15", I can feel the road and at times I still think that the ride is soft. A caveat - I used to drive a Jeep so I am used to the stiff/bouncy/jarring ride. From a cost standpount, compare the price of the new control arms and the suspension upgrade. Which one is cheaper. Just my two cents - you might as well go for the upgraded suspension with rubber bushings and softer struts and shocks if you are concerned about the road feel. That may downplay the road feel since you have the 17". Hope that helps. good luck!
