Question about sway bars (need opinions!)

Hey, everybody. I've got a 2011 2LT RS (convertible) with an automatic V6. I'm finally looking into mods, and I've come across Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS, specifically. This package (link below) comes with lowering springs (approximately 1.0") as well as the front and rear sway bars. I've got 3 primary questions:

1) Do sway bars produce a noticeable effect?
2) Is this package worth the $520?
3) Will this package fit a V6 model?

This is my first legitimate mod, as my car is currently 100% stock. So if you guys can leave any feedback, information, or opinions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, guys!

Why am I up so late?? 1. OMG Yes Sway Bars make your car feel like your riding on rails. 2. You could check some other vendors like JDP, APEX, OHIO Speed.... They are Camaro5 vendors and would probably beat that price or offer a better product. You can't beat the "personal" service that they provide. 3. Yes ,it will fit your v6. Do yourself a favor though, shop around, PM/Private Message vendors on here. I say PM because if you just post on a thread they will never see it unless they go back to that thread. PM goes right into their inbox. HAPPY MODING. Check out the local threads for your area for cruises and meet ups..

Check out the suspension area. You'll find the answers to all of your suspension questions there:

You should try to get anti-sway bars.
