Default swaybars and lower control arms ?

does anyone have swaybars on their lude? and lower control arms?
do they really actually make a difference in improved handling?
wanted to make a handling upgrade on my lude, but did not want to spend the money on a set of coilovers yet, so was thinking of something cheaper like a sway bar and lower control arms but i wonder if they really improve your handling?

Preludes have front and rear swaybars and lower control arms from the factory.

I would strongly suggest you head over to the suspension forum and check out the FAQs to learn the basics of how suspensions works.

LCAs do nothing for handling and are not made for Preludes.

Learn what a swaybar is and what it does:
