rear sway bar...

worth it to get one they seem to be around 130$, but will it really make a big difference and be worth the money or should i put the 130$ towards something else? im on stock suspension.

The rear sway bars make a big difference....

Depends on the brand.
Not sure if Stillen ever fixed the issues with the trailing arm mounting blocks being too tall -- causing them to bang the body when the suspension compresses.

Are you just starting on your mods?
Its a very slippery slope once you get started... you'll always find the car needs more and more work...

Since you said you are on stock suspension, then the rear sway bar will help a lot. I think the rear sway bar is the best bang for your buck on suspension (next to dropping your car).

I was gonna get the progress after driving my friends Max, it really eliminates a lot of body roll. I'd say its definitely worth it, but maybe save up another $30 buy a set of progress springs first, then again without aftermarket shocks/struts that wouldn't do too much good..

well im just starting performance mods ive done a bit of cosmetic mods for the past few years on and off, but now im more into performance, im not gonna replace stock suspension yet because when i was away at school my cars rear struts blew, so my parents had all the struts replaced haha without consulting me, oh well....ive ordered a front strut bar, y pipe, and intake and was figuring the rear sway bar would be the next smart choice...

any suggestions on brands and also where to find them at a good price? ive seen them on redline for 130, and 155 for the stillen.

I have the Stillen rear sway bar and it's a beefy piece of metal. I like it a lot and doubt I'll take it off. It's also adjustable but I'm no pro to feel that much of a difference if I were to adjust it. Got mine for $130 here off of an org member.
