Cool How much difference?

Hey yall,I was wondering how many of the people on this site actually have sway bars? If so, can anyone tell me if it is really worth getting rid of the factory ones (sway bars) already under the hood? The TL has excellent handling, how much better can it get from here?

Just an FYI,
Anti-sway bars are on the bottom of the car, not under the hood. The bar you see under the hood is called the Upper Strut Tower Bar.

Oh, if you like to corner at high-speed, you need to get the springs first and then the sway bars. Always get the springs first, it will improve the handling the most.

If you get springs then get new shocks as well. Or you can just go for true coilovers.
