amen to that...it's such a rush to give it MORE gas when the rear starts to kick out. i was up in yosemite last week. let's just say my s-03's look like the redheaded stepchild of a drunken hick.

Well, I do know what the suspension mods do... In fact, it doesn't feel like stock at all. I really have almost zero roll when making hard turns. The setting of the sway bar is on the second setting which was the recommended to avoid too much oversteer. I think the problem I faced could have happened to any car... it didn't have anything to do with the sway bar at all. So to conclude, no, I really don't think I wasted my money on a different color sway bar... in fact, that's one of the biggest differences I felt with the car. the turns are so much tighter now and it's really cool to go faster on turns and not feel like you're going to tip over.
