sway bar or y pipe?

I cant decide, i wanted some input, what would you do next? as for suspension i have sprint springs and a ftsb, i was thinking the sway bar would be a nice addition, is it true that it makes it handle alot more like a rear wheel drive car? Also i have heard the y pipe is well worth the money....what would you do?

Normally I would say get the sway, but since you already have some suspension mods done, go for the Y.

Get the y-pipe in your case, since you already have sus mods. The sway bar is on the same level of bang for buck mod though. After the ypipe, you should go with the sway bar.

budget y pipe and catback + Bomz (ebay) intake. believe me, you will crave for catback too after a while, so why not buy both one shot?

and then get RSB. But if you have stock shocks on eibachs, prepare to get aftermarket shocks, b/c OEM shocks will blow with eibachs... Your handling as of right now equals a non-lowered maxima with RSB.

If you are running on stock struts/shocks then save your money and get some KYB AGXs or something.. Seriously, they will make more of a difference than any other bolt on mod in regards to handling. If you want straight line performance then just get the Y-pipe I guess.
