Okay.....I'm crow'en here cause things turned out so well so far. To start with 2 weeks ago I had the OEM wheels replaced with ASA 16"X8" alloys, shoed them with Good Year 205x50x16 Eagle F1's.....and wow what a difference. But I kept noticing it wouldn't track as tight as I expected in the canyons...to much roll! So I ended up installing a front strut support and that did the trick. Now I'm looking to possibly change out the rear sway bar. 13 mm doesn't seem enough to keep the back end from wanting to kick out on the hard curves.

Any suggestions on what might be available....as I understand it anything that's made for an '01 or '02 will also work....so thoughts and first hand experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.
