Now that you've done the front sway bar, how does it handle when you make quick course changes? Plow straight, or take the turn as you want it to?

If it plows straight, you should probably put a sway bar in the back, or more spring.

It immediately will go in the desired direction. Even some of the twitchiness is gone. The steering is still a little quick for my liking, but it definitely has more stabilty... even lane changes used to induce a little body roll.

Nice. An even stiffer front sway bar (or front springs, or even just shocks) can help that "too quick" thing. Keep us all informed on the progress

Will do, going to splurge for good shocks and call suspension upgrade done. Other than that gas guzzling 460, this has been the best upgrade yet!
