          wish i could tell you what the difference was, i have done most of the suspension work at the same time.... however,

          i was running zero front sway and OE stock rear sway, and the car drove like crap

          after ST front / rear sways, the car handles like a dream.

                              lenses are cheap as hell from the stealer. i didn't even notice this the first time around, but i'd say removing kitchen storage supplies from the from of my car would be a pretty fucking big priority.
