Neuspeed rear sway bars.

Has anyone installed the 25mm Neuspeed rear sway bar? I don't have alot of money so I would prefer to just upgrade the rear sway bar since that apperantly is the weaker link. The eibach and comptech come only with full kits, and although it may be beneficial to upgrade both sways, most people would say dollar for dollar upgrading the rear one would be more beneficial than upgrading the front one. How much more work is it to install the 25mm rear sway? Since on Tim's website he clearly states that it's for race use only. Does that mean we may acually experience some oversteer?

P.S.

Got my strut bar last night...came to work late so i could install it this morning. Thanks Tim!

Do you have springs and/or sways? I think i might go for the strut bar for now and later pick up springs and sways. I'm not sure how much ride i'm willing to sacrifice yet to go for the springs and sways. I was wondering how well the strut bar works for u (when u get them in).

Just order my Neuspeed strut bar. Can you tell any difference since you installed. I have my TL-S for three weeks and this will be my first mod.

edgalang, I think the Nuespeed rear sway bar is for race use only, because it puts more stress on the chassis. I am not sure, though. Can anyone else clear this up?
I plan to get the Eibach anti-roll bars (front/rear sways). That write-up on tirerack.com convinced me.

I honestly cant tell right now. My tires are still stock, so before the body starts to even flex my tires slip. I "think" it rides stiffer, but then again I could be biased and it may be just mental. Anyway, it looks cool just being there, too bad my tires suck.

For anyone that has installed the Neuspeed strut bar. Do you notice any difference at all? Especially with stock wheels and tires.

Hmmm....too tell you the truth I've kinda ignored looking for details about the handling after I installed it. I pretty much stopped doing hard cornering after realizing that the edges of my tires are already worn out (well maybe not worn out, but they sure do look butt ugly at 8,500 miles).
