Was there a big difference with doing sway bars as i will probably do them both at the same time(front and rear).

It will just be nice to get the beast back p and running to keep me happy,lol.

I noticed a significant difference in handling with sway bars. Less body roll around corners. Found the car sat flatter when powering out of corners. Entering corners was a bit faster and generally it made the handling experience more enjoyable. Again, I'd only do it if your into handling, other wise may not be any point.

Getting the car running and operating smoothly would be first and foremost as you say.

With the stall, on a stock cam, you will notice a better 'off the line' improvement than the stock torque converter has to offer. It's by no means a cheap exercise so only do it if you have the funds and you are looking at reducing your 0-100 times. I think exhaust and suspension upgrades will be the biggest bang for buck improvement by far.

well i definatly have to do something about the convertor anyway so i may aswell put a stall in it and shift kit it. as for the sway bars ill have a look into it as i will do it when i lower the car so then she should be abit better. will probably de driving the car quite abit after christmas time as i am taking the daily i have atm off the rd to do some "improvements" to.

cheers shav
