As for your question, I just installed the sways ... terrific bang for the buck ... highly recommend ... little change in the general ride but the lane change stuff is much more fun.

Springs and sways are pretty much the only option we have to make the car handle better. I'm installing my springs next week sometime. If you are interested we can meet up so you can see them, and take care of your issue with the system.

I've been in a CL-S with sways, springs and stock tires.
The car with 235 Toyos will kill the lowered car with stock tires...
I drove both -- OK...

On first impression of driving car I felt there was way to much body roll but that springs were reasonable stiff. First thing I
did was replace shocks,springs,and sways at
same time to have cohesive suspension. Yesterday just installed Neuspeed upper strut
tie bar and front end has tightened up so it
feels much better. Have been searching for
tires and wheels and will do soon as possible. If you're not replacing entire suspension as I did would recommend tires and
sways! Can hardly wait to replace my tires!

i love my suspension (heheh..)...springs, sways & tires...had tires installed first, world of difference...tighter grip, smoother ride, etc...couldn't really notice any difference with sways (maybe because i had them installed with my headers
)...springs virtually eliminated ANY and ALL body roll, with them i believe we can hang with the IS300 or even a 330 in the twisties (i'm being a bit optimistic here, maybe because i just had the installed last week and the ride feels 100x better)...the ride is smoother, quicker and easier lane changes, very firm yet soft...and your guts don't feel like they're flying all over the place going 50mph in a turn ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
...if you have extra money in hand, shocks and lightweight wheels are also a plus

how about coilovers? i'd be happy to get springs and sways but want to have minimal effect on the ride (irregular road surface bumpies) would coilovers offer better handling, adjustable heigth, etc. with less ride alteration?

From what I hear coilovers make the ride very stiff and harsh.</STRONG>
