Let's just say there is ZERO leaning now in corners. It's fantastic. Now I need to get a new alternator and upgrade the fuel pump though.

more new parts, kool, so what kind of sway bar? are you getting a matching rear one? ive read its a good idea to do them together for even stability front and back.

It's a UMI solid 35mm. It's heavy, but wow does it make a HUGE difference. I plan on getting a rear one, but holy cow, they are ungodly expensive.

Expensive!! Tell me about it I have a wish list for just the suspension that is almost $6000 and I still have not picked out the shocks, struts or springs I want. Oh and the Rims and tires are not on that list either!

Lmao I know exactly what you mean. There's so much on my list of stuff to do, it just keeps growing. It doesn't help that things keep deciding to break either.

Well, my 3rd gen was a couple years ago, and my last 4th gen was about 6 years ago. So I can only go from memory and say, I can't recall if there was a difference.
