MSRC Sway Bar Upgrade
I have searched the forums and found many threads on sway bar upgrades. I have a 03 with MSRC and while the car handles well and rides nicely it does seem to waffle a bit when I put it into a corner. It actually handles quite like my 74. I do not think that there is anything wrong with the suspension but that this is a result of the setup (for comfort).
I think that a sway bar upgrade would help to sharpen the handling. I would like input from forum members who have upgraded and would like to know:
Your impressons of the car's handling before mods.
The mods you made.
The changes that these mods made.
This is not a track car and I am not trying to get it to push 1g in turns but rather sharpen the handling so it feels more set in corners.
Thanks, Chris

Car felt rather "sloppy" to me before upgrades. I wasn't worried about the ride becoming to harsh since this is supposed to be a sprots car, I wanted it to behave like one.
Mods:
Added Bilstein Sport Shocks. Suspension became a little stiffer.
Added Hotchkiss sway bars. Car had less body roll when turning.
Added a 1/4 tunnel plate. Car frame flexes less and forces suspension mods to do their job. The plate made a noticable improvement.
