Default Question about sway bars and my setup?

I just ordered a STB and SFC from SLP, I have done no suspension mods at all to date. My question is, I was going to order the 21mm rear sway bar, 32mm rear sway bar, boxed control arms and panhard bar all with polyurethane bushings but I wanted to ask your opinion first. I'm going to stick with SLP because everything else on my car os SLP but I don't know anything about suspention setups and want to know what exactly this will do for me and is it worth the money? and my second question is, is there anything else I should buy at the same time?
Thanks,
Tim.

my opinion is ive always bought suspension part beore power adders cause with out the car handling badass your power is nothing if your car cant handle it. the sway bars are good be sure to get the poly bushings for the sway bar mounts and endlikns.youd be surprised how good the car will handle with these products before i bought suspension i could take a turn around @ 55 ok with alot of lean then when i upgraded i took one recently @70 and stayed close to the white line with out drifting out... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> tires have a lot to do with it as well just try it for your self do some fast driving aroung high ways & turn arounds then replace parts and youll be much satisfied i guarantee thats my opinion

I'm 99.9% sure that the sway bar sizes are 32mm/19mm F/R on the WS6/SS.

Stock WS6 sways bars are 32mm front & 19mm rear. I don't know why you want to keep everything SLP because your car was not made by SLP luckily for you. Anyways I upgraded to suspension techniques 35mm solid front sway bar along with a lot of other things & my car doesn't move in turns at all. The only thing that breaks loose are the tires. Next up is the rear bar but I'd stay away from slp's junk. Call Sam Strano, he sells premium parts & can help you set up your suspension to what you want.
