That's what I've heard. And I've heard it from folks who AutoCross or RallyCross, too.

When people are talking about the rear sway bay inducing oversteer they are talking about at the limit. Not from everyday driving.

In my opinion, better tires thoroughly helped the overall personality and handling of the car a ton..

I haven't upgraded my tires yet, I will wait till they're worn out. BUT, I agree with what you said. I think for me, I will keep my 19mm RSB, add a perrin strut tower brace, and GOOD tires when they're ready for new ones, and it should be just about perfect....for me at least. |

I can also verify that good tires and slightly wider wheels drastically changed the way the car handles. I'm running the 17x8 WRX wheels with Falken Azenis, and it handles SO beautifully. It will only get better with a sway bar upgrade, and potential lowering springs.

I can't really afford better tires at this point, and I don't want to invest a huge amount in the car as I don't know how long I'll keep it. I'm just trying to balance out the handling as economically as I can at this point.

Well in that case since you already have the 19mm RSB I would just say leave well enough alone.

Snapped another iPhone flick today while she was getting all wet:
Hopefully I'll get some actual photos when the weather turns around. |

Looks great, man. Those body-colored fog light covers just change SO MUCH. And it's such a clean look too with the lower end all kitted out. I always love seeing cars that look so clean and "stock", but that really aren't.

My next upgrade is going to be this. I am just really torn between the 19mm rsb or the 22mm and I'm also curious how much the different mounting holes for the Perrin bar really effect its performance. My car sees just regular daily driving with frequent spirited cornering but nothing more. I'm still looking for more opinion I dont see to many people who seem to have the 22mm. Either way I will most likely go with the Perrin bar. Then figure out what to do about endlinks
