Highly recommended. However, upgrading the rear sway bar is where you'll feel the most difference in handling from what I've read on here. So, I'd do the rear first and see how you like it. Then, do the front later if funds permit.

The best rear bar available is a JPSS 32mm Black magic Sway Bar. I know a guy that works there

+1 Justice Pete.

OP - I just had all the suspension parts in my sig installed and aligned last night - COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR. I'll post a more thorough review later, but JP is the man... call him.

That 32mm Sway bar is just a tree trunk!! When you call don't forget to talk about alignment to.

There are two things 'wrong' with factory alignments. First they are not for handling or performance. They optimist tire wear. Second is the 'green range' of HUGE. What the factory calls aligned, we call a mess. It is the difference between production work and work done for the demanding enthusiast.

Here are the specs from my alignment last night.

Pete, are these close enough or do I need to get some adjustments done (Aggressive Street)?

Thanks guys,
Sammy
