    it will be fine with the stock one, but if you get the bar the handling will be so much better.
    try k-mac or whiteline for bars.

    There are whisperings around (not least from Ed) that a big sway bar is perhaps the best suspension mod you can do in terms of increasing handling without ruining ride comfort.
    that said, springs and shocks are more important (especially to people like me who like some feedback through the car)

    yeah no doubt, sway bars are worth there weight in gold if you wanna run comfy spring rates.

    I've got a KE70 with a lot of roll stiffness thanks to big stabilisers and running 275lb front 170lb rear spring rates; it's a great cheep package.
