yes. swaybars are must for any suspension work IMO or even if your car is stock.

If you get a bigger rear sway bar and/or a smaller front sway bar, it will reduce understeer.

progress 22mm rear sway youll definitely notice a difference in body roll and stability of the car in a tight turn.

IMO 22mm is way too big for the rear of our car.....seems like it will increase understeer when cournering heavy

same thing people thought with the ep3's. the only thing i think they failed on this time would be not including a reinforcement bracket with the sway bar.
