You mean the bars that used to be $429, then $399, and now are $369.98 a set all the time? No, sorry.... as the costs go down I lower the price too. Doesn't leave me much to keep cutting, and I won't --- no, I can't give stuff away for free, I don't work on a big enough margin. 
Thanks buddy!

I don't know what I'm talking about, I can only describe what it feels like. Body roll is how the car leans side to side as you turn, it almost completely stops doing that (think turning like a boat vs turning like a train) which makes it feel much more ...confident?... in turns. You can feel the difference at all speeds, even just parking.
The install is very easy (unbolt old one, bolt on new one) but to do it properly you have to have the suspension loaded to torque them down, so if you don't have a way to raise the car with the weight still on the wheels you will be trying to get under your car with a torque wrench, that was the only hard part.

Oh, and I'll probably grab some ramps sooner or later anyways so that might be better for the install. I can't get my fatass under the car on the ground lol.

My car is purely a street car that I occasionally canyon carve with and is a daily driver (no drag racing). I'm pretty happy with the current bars, but something just a little stiffer would be nice at the limit. I know that the bars have no effect over speed bumps, expansion joints, and other road contours that simultaneously contact both wheels in equal measure. The issue is more with things like potholes and manhole covers which hit only one side of the suspension. Since I live in LA, potholes are a fact of life in some areas (and they even pop up unexpectedly on blissfully secluded coastal mountain roads).
I trust your opinion either way: If these are primarily for track use, I'll keep the current bars. If you think the suspension will have reduced roll with only some additional harshness, than I'll go for the Strano bars. (I love that they're hollow, BTW, especially on the front I would not want to add that extra weight over a hollow factory bar). Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Just ordered all of my stuff the other day. Look forward to getting a new watts link, sway bar and new koni's on the rear. Figured what better time to throw some new rotors on as well. I just need to get all of the stuff on my car by June so I can do a few runs at a local road course when I'm home for work for a couple weeks.

Ride quality is subjective, but I really don't think you'll feel like it rides worse. I don't think swaybars can effect ride quality as bad as a poor shock/spring combo can. Under normal bumps and driving, there won't be much difference. When going over bigger uneven bumps that both wheels don't go over is when you might feel more of a difference as the opposite side wants to come up with the bump.

I'm so excited to buy a set of Strano/Koni's. Only a couple more weeks of saving

They are not shipped. But shipping isn't terrible, usually $25-30 will cover a set insured to most places.

The sale runs into May. And it applies to both individual shocks and sets both.

Nothing new on STR.T's for the F-body. I sort of doubt it'll ever happen.... But with the SLP Bilstein's, there isn't a lot of need they are similar in their goals, though typically the STR.T's in other cars offer a touch more damping which I'd like if they'd build 'em.
