Strut bar/sways/lower bars, etc ???'s

Can someone give me a quick overview of all the parts associated with corning, etc. Upper strut bars, sways, rear sways, all that crap. Im a little off in this area, but im sure i need to buy it.

You won't see much improvement with strut bar since your car already has one. An added one will increase stiffness but the benefit/$ is pretty low.

However, a Comptech sway bar set will give you nice gains in performance. If you're patient, you can wait for Eibach's version to come out. Eibach's are supposed to equal or be better than Comptech's. Sway bars help control body roll when turning. It connects your end links (left and right sides) of your suspension.

Get the sways. Your car will go from annoying understeer to pleasing oversteer. Best $4$ mod you can do for the CL. Don't worry about anything else but the smile you are about to put on your face.

My Comptech sways were a huge improvement. Comptech lowering springs combined with Koni adjustables made the car feel completely different, way more grip. Of course the lower, wider Toyos didn't hurt either. If you go all out to improve the suspension, get new stickier tires first.
