well the springs are going to be the most noticable, but sways help stiffen up the car in turns, so it'll help you handle without sacrificing ride quality

JIC-Magic coils are just around the corner. You might want to look into those.

The spring's main job is to relay road feel to you and won't give you better traction... Sway bars help with the weight transfer from wheel to wheel and will give you better traction through turns.

If you're really looking to get better handling, it doesn't matter whether you have the "sport" suspension or not... look into better struts... and tires.

H&R doesn't have a specific kit for the 07+ so it's still got spring rates for the old sedan which is significantly less.

If you want a kit with similar drop but 07+ devoloped spring rates go with the eibach prokit.

I'll be selling my Stillen sways very soon. They work well in the weight transfer as mentioned. I'm just trying out another option, tinkering you know.

Not sure... I'm going to be real busy for the next few months...

Also, I'm still looking for some 18~19s and beefier rear sway.

We'll see.

Right now, Stillens are pretty much the main option and they perform well. They're about $300 new before shipping. I'll be selling a set barely used here in a week or so for probably $250 shipped. I'll be testing out a set of H&Rs that are a tad over $500, as far as how they work, can't say yet. Not sure there are really any other options for sway bars.
