Sway bar question/ and brake dust
Hey I have a lil bit of money laying around and thought that I would go with a suspension mod the most important thing to me is body roll. So I was thinking Sway bars I have a few options I'm looking at 1LE bars from SLP or the suspension techniques 35/25 or the BMR's anyone got a first hand comment. Or maybe should I go SFC's first
Also one more question what pads do you guys run that give decent brake quality but not that much dust....
thanx

Re: Sway bar question/ and brake dust
The only suspension mods that I have fount to be anything remotely worth the $$$ I spent on them were:
LCA/Panhard rod
front STB
Springs/shocks/struts
Rims/tires
Subframe connectors were an absolute waste of money... especially on these (newer) cars. Maybe if you have a vert, it might help in 4-5 years, but why bother otherwise. Some people like those tunnel braces, but say their aftermarket exhaust hits them... I've not tried the LCA lowering brackets or adjustable torque arm either, so no comment on those.
As well, you'd have to really push your car to notice any difference between your stock sway bar and a slightly larger aftermarket one. Maybe if you do auto X daily, but you'll need brakes/tires/etc. long before that and would have enough experience to know if you need a sway bar or not.

Subfram connectors are a must. Once you put these on you will realize these cars have good suspension on them already.
