I've done quite a bit of "reading up" on s70 threads regarding suspension.

I was going to get the heavy-duty END LINKS that have been highly recommended by many, for durability's sake; but my question is, what does the heavier SWAYBAR itself buy the average driver in terms of performance? I guess what I'm saying is, though I enjoy "getting on it" occasionally, I'm not the type to regularly cruise windy mountain roads at twice the speed limit. So, with Bilstein TC's all around, stock springs, and heavy-duty end links, will the stock swaybars do me just fine, or do they now become my "weak link"?

(FYI, IPD's front swaybar is 25 mm, and the stock bar is about 20 mm. IPD rear is 22 mm, stock = I don't know)

The reason I ask is that the set of front/rear swaybars is $360, and my "wishlist" of other parts is pretty long right now.

Thanks for any feedback.

1998 S70 T5, 5-speed
