OK so i have 2 options as of this second..
The first option is get my roof ,trim , stock rear spoiler vinyled black, and get my grill repainted back (paint is chipping) andthe back emblems colored back for $330
or
Get the Hotchkis Sway Bars for 349 shipped?

 

Sway bars for sure

 

sway bars w/o a doubt..

 

My opinion... go for looks first. The car handles just fine, unless you're bringing this thing to the track every weekend.
Make the car unique and to your liking. The sways are a great addition, but not absolutely necessary.
I've done some visual tweaks and I'm just now starting to think about performance and handling mods. Nothing crazy, but a minor drop and some sways are in my near future.

 

if you dont push your car much go for looks but if you are a a step BEYOND "spirited" driver go with sways because the stock S suspension is pretty good for "spirited" driving

 

SWAYS!!!!!

then instead of paying someone to do all those "looks" for u.. DIY it!! At least the Grille and maybe get some Overlays if those interest you. That'll be cheap. 40 bucks for the overlays and 15 bucks for the spray paint? lol

Then when you've said enough money, then get someone else to do the roof, etc. for ya!

 

the last time i painted something was also the last time.. lol.... so idk.. i was thinking look mod first cuz i have an Intake and Exhaust... but idkkkk its soo hard lol.. but do the sways really make THAT BIG of a difference?

 

Yes they do

And for those of you who have never driven a car with a "real" suspension, the S suspension is far from adequate

 

if you upgraded from a regular journey sway to a say Hotchkis sway bar, you will feel the difference...but i am stuck with my wimpy X sways so i can't tell you anything from personal experience right now

 

Ya i have the journey so it should make a big difference then... i think im gonna go for the look mods first though.

But just so i know... is 330 a good price for roof ,trim , stock rear spoiler vinyled black, and get my grill repainted back and the back emblems colored back?

 

what do u use the car for? chill and slow driving or mash on the pedal, taking turns?

if ur chill and relax driving..then the vinyl mods
if ur mash the pedal, "spirited" then sways.

of course u can end up switching from chill relax, to more spirited "because" of the sways..LOL

 

lol... ya i love pushing the car and im all about performance.. the only problem i find with the sways is that its not a mod you can see or hear... like the intake and exhaust make the car growl and you have the nice tips. but with the sways its pure feel... but then again.. your in the car not outside it.

 

i think you answered your own question.

 

I have a journey and the sways are awesome, you won't regret it.

 

I don't see why it should matter if people can see it, because in the end it's what makes YOU happy not others. I see too many people concerned about what others think. Do what you want and what would make you happier.

I personally would go with sways. I've driven the '08 sedans and been driven in BLUESLATE's and what an amazing difference.

Also, if you have your ecu remapped and tuned, it's something nobody sees, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it, especially if you got a pisston of mods.
