Hi everyone,

Looking to buy a strut and sway bar but I'm not sure which one I should buy and install first. I have a 3.5 MT AC, not sure if it makes any difference.

Thanks!

I currently have a strut bar only, but from what I've heard, you can feel the effect of the sway bar more than the strut bar.
I'm sure other people will post their opinions.

Do you need to take it some place to get the sway bar installed? or is it an easy DIY

Sway bar first, I felt more of a difference with it than the strut.

So sway bar it is. Now, should I get the Stillen model or the RL model? They're both the same price.

I have the Still sway bar, it's good and for sure better than stock but the RL is thicker and looks a bit better.

I might actually upgrade to it at some point.
