Thanks!

If I had one modification to do to a Camaro5, it would undoubtedly be a set of sway bars. Sway bars have an effect when ever there is a rolling moment on the vehicle, not only when the car is being driven aggressively. You will find more confidence in corners even before the tires start breaking away because the car wont roll and wallow into corners as much.
As you increase the amount of mechanical grip you have by installing stickier tires, your car will actually exhibit more body roll than it already does since your limits are now higher. Aftermarket sway bars don't have a huge effect on ride quality but make the car feel much tighter and in control than the stock bars. You don't need to be pushing the car past reasonable street limits to notice a big difference in sway bar packages.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. We feel that sways make these cars feel so much more confident without compromises in ride quality that they're a must do for our personal cars.
