Aftermarket sway bars worth it?
Is it worth it to get aftermarket sway bars? Only suspension mod in the mail are UMI weld in SFC.
Let me know which bars and bushing to go with? Just front or just rear? do both?
Bolt on car, M6, daily driver, stock wheels and suspension otherwise.

UMI stuff comes highly reccomended by people. Car will not see any road racing, MAYBE one or two trips down the strip this summer...otherwise a DD as I mentioned before.
Could I buy just stiffer bushings for the stock sway bars? My rear bushings are absolutely shot anyways..please let me know what you guys would do, keep in mind I am on a budget.

Budget? UMI setup.
Arguably the best is:

I'm ASSuming this is to make your vehicle a better handler in the twisties?
If so, the truly, THE best modification you can give your f-body is shocks.
And again, it's all dependent on how much you want to spend.

definitely noticeable. probably the most noticeable upgrade i've done other than springs/shocks combined (did them at the same time). for the price they're a huge upgrade.

Yup, I think sway bars are a nice improvement. I've been using a 35/22 on the stock shocks, and the car feels better. Be careful on the rear sway bar - if too thick in relation to the front, you will have some oversteer in the turns/slalom.

the weld in subframe connectors will tie the car together, the sway bars will flatten out the ride in corners..
but, you should also pick up a shock and spring set. then everything will feel complete.. tires also help with the handling..

Like mentioned above. If you are going to replace your sway bars I would highly suggest replacing them both for maximum body roll control and superior handling. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer!
