SAS Swaybar - Thoughts (Long)

I have finally fitted my SAS swaybar to my (otherwise) stock 900S 2.3 litre coupe.
The ride isn't as harsh as others had led me to believe it would be - in fact I wouldn't describe it as harsh at all!
I immediately noticed the firmer rear... I have a lot more confidence in driving the car hard now as the back doesn't feel as though it's about to slip out from underneath me (in a sloppy sort of way, as opposed to an oversteering sort of way).
Steering accuracy is improved and, unless it's my imagination, it's even firmed up the centre feel on my car (the car always felt like it wanted to wander a little when driving straight).
The downside to the way bar is that it highlights other problems in the car.
I now notice that the front could be improved (did somebody say Bilsteins?) and as I am encouraged to take corners faster, I notice that I am overestimating the stopping power my normal braking will achieve... oops... need to change my braking habits or fit different pads or rotors.
Unfortunately I cannot compare the SAS to other swaybars, or judge the effect the SAS will have on a 9-3 - perhaps other can comment in this thread.
Bottom line: must-have
