When asked in other threads, people said that there was a noticeable difference with aftermarket sway bars installed - Eibach and Comptech. Comptech sways bars are next on my to do list. An aftermarket strut bar is mainly for show, since ours TLs are already equipped with one stock.

Stickier tires also do wonders to car handling, comparing to the crappy OEM tires.

Why not drop it?
Better shocks will help as well

Yeah I'd like to get rid of the body roll but not have to lower it or change out the struts yet. This is my daily driver so I'm trying to spend the least on it. All my money is going into my S. Plus if you lower it, I've read alot where you have to install a camber kit. Springs, camber kit and alignment=more money. I already have falkens for tires so thats good. I'm just tired of the roll everytime I turn a corner. I have 50k miles on the odo so I know my struts arent gone yet.
