    If one were to want to get sway bars would you want to do the front or the rear first? I know the car is front wheel drive, but which would have the most effect front or rear (as im prob gonna get them at different times)?

    the rear would probably do more since it sways a lot in hard cornors, but both will affect handling equally. the rear only will make the car want to kick out the rear end a lot more..(i think)

    I would suggest doing the rear first. These cars are already very unbalanced, with quite a bit of understeer. Upgrading the front only will increase that, making it handle even worse. Upgrading the rear will balance the car out a lot more, dramatically improving the feel of the car. Be somewhat aware, though, the reason they come with so much understeer stock is for the masses who have no idea how to drive their car, if they get into an oversteer situation, they tend to panic; so as long as you know how to drive, it's a huge improvement.

    ok. awesome advice will prob go w/ the rear first, and as for my driving I had to pull some dukes of hazzard sh?t a few months ago an 80 year old man in a winnabago ran me off the interstate and i had a car behind me and in front so i went for the median and after sliding sideways in the grass and dodging a guard rail and the pillars under the bridge managed to get it back on the road w/o a scratch other than a small piece of tread on my front passenger tire that got ripped off by a drainage grate. I know it sounds made up but i swear it happened. i think they should really require those guys to have a CDL or something. lol. any way thanks alot guys.
