Rear Sway bar installed, nice!
I know it's been said over and over but I feel compeled to say it myself. I installed the Stillen RSB on my Max this weekend in a little over an hour. What a great improvement, the rear of the car feels tied down in corners now. I feel it most on highway on/off ramps, It eliminated about 90% of the understeer and makes the car feel completely under control. I have no negative comments about it, just drove from NY to DC this morning with a full load of luggage and the car rides fine on the highway, no noises or odd handling characteristics. This mod offers much improvement with no drawbacks, I recommend it to everyone.
There is no aftermarket sway bar for the front on the 4th or 5th gen that I know of. I don't know if it's really necessary though, the front is pretty big already. However I'm sure it could benefit from some stiffer urethane bushing, unfortunately they tend to be noisy so I haven't really considered them.
The RSB make a really nice addition though. I didn't really think it made a dramatic difference at first but I finally go to take it out for an enthusiastice ride this afternoon...Weeeee :-) I like it alot! The car doesn't plow through high speed curves anymore, it amazed me how much easier it is to take offramps at highway speeds. The whole car (especially the rear) just feels more planted now.
Enjoy the ride!

You didn't waste any time Mike! Much nicer, isn't it? On my car I can feel a slight loss of ride, but not much. The handling I gained with the RSB was the most impressive mod I've made to my car.

the tires should increase skidpad ratings by .03 to .05 Gs and increase slalom speeds by 2-4 mph. I can't wait til the winter is over and autoX season starts up again!!!!!!!!!!
