Would someone be so gracious as to compare the effect of STB's and Sway Bars? From what I understand, Sway bars go below the car and replace stock. STB's aren't present otherwise and go in the trunk or in the engine compartment. Assuming that's all correct, what do the STB and Sway bars do differently for road handling?

yeah sways first cause it gives you a really big contrast between stock and the new settings.

I have the VRT STB and absolutely love it. I would not go back to the way my coupe handled previously. The price on the VRT model is still reasonable, and IMHO, I believe it to be more rigid than the ARC Unit. There is absolutely no downside to this mod, except perhaps the price of admission. But then, that's up to you to decide what this improvement is worth to you.

Silver,
Sorry for this long-overdue response... I'm running a 5/16 Skunk2 Plenum Spacer; I have no issues at all. My ARC is a perfect fit. However, I have removed my engine cover - - and polished my plenum!!!! Pics tomorrow!!!!
