I'm not second guessing you, just curious as to what you found in researching.

I think I agree with your advice on the bushings... mostly because I don't plan to autocross, at least I don't plan on it as of right now, so I want nice suspension, but I don't want the jarring like you mentioned. I think the strut bar and sway bar will mostly just be tightening my cornering and not changing my cruising drive quality at all, but I could be wrong. My ride is already really stiff being that i'm lowered really low, I don't want to sacrifice TOO much more because of the 1 hour each way commute. And also yeah I read a bit into the install and it sounds like a major pain, especially for something I might complain about afterwards...

As far as how I came across the specific products, the 4G market is small, and I believe the only available sway bar right now is by Progress, the only specifics I know on it is it's 24mm and adjustable.

As for the strut bar, there is a Cusco version and a Tanabe offering as well, and i'll need to do more research on this possibly, but I believe the Cusco is a thicker bar, and RRE chose it over the Tanabe in their Ralliart build, so i'm basically going with it for that reason. I still need to do some more light reading before I purchase that specific one.

Eibach (sp?) I believe is releasing a kit sometime in feb, with a 25mm rear sway, so it might benefit me to wait and see what that has to offer, so I might wait for that, but thats also probably subject to being pushed back, which is a common trend so far for this platform.
