The reason I bought the TSB was I used to have connection form comptech. I paid $200 shipped for mine. Too bad I couldn't feel a damn thing

Yes, I have comptech springs and sway too. It handles better but I am not sure if the springs or the sways is helping more. I installed both the sways and springs at the same time.

I forgot to mention that I had some 18" rims and 235/40/18 ES100 tires installed on my car at the same time. So, It could be a little of everything. 6spdmanual only have springs and tires and his car handles just as well. It could be his sticky S0-3 too? The one thing I am sure is that those sways squeak like crazy.

I have had one setup with springs & sways (both CT) and currently running on one setup with only sways.

SPRINGS MAKES THE TOTAL DIFFERENCE YOU CAN FEEL. With just the sways on the 03 6speeder now, I really cannot tell you the handling has improved. Still rocks side to side during quick lane changes and not stable at all during high speed cornering.

With the 01 setup including both CT springs & sways, TOTAL SATISFACTION in terms of handling. No dramatic side to side rolls and very stable at high speed cornerings.

Sways are gay without lowering the car really...

After installing the CT STB, the steering felt a little bit more precise; less sloppy.

Strut bars are junk, basically just look good. Sways are by far superior

Sways make the biggest difference in handling; then springs; then shocks.

Finally and least of all, the CT STB which only makes a slight improvement in steering precision and not really any improvement in handling.

If you plan on throwing your car around a lot of corners, then I think it's worth it. It does help steering input.

You can get the Neuspeed STB for around $100.

Don't know anything about aftermarket lower strut tie bars... but I would imagine that they would have a similar affect on steering as the CT STB. I don't think they would do much for handling.

The Ti bar does nothing except look pretty in your engine bay. Waste of money, IMHO.

I had the Neuspeed. Hard to say if I benefited from it. Had Comptech sways too...

Cusco makes a lower bar for our cars, only prob is it wont fit if you have aftermarket headers on. And i beleive everyone would take headers over a lower tie bar.

How about paying the car off? :o Especially now since after the wreck its gonna be worth alot less due to a serious damage report on it.

Mine isnt getting any hp mods until my balance is $0.

The STB will certainly stiffen things up and it does look great. Having all the handling goodies does make our cars that much more fun and predictably safer.
