i have the ses edition zx3 with the stock rear sway bar. i still feel roll in turns. would the addition of a front sway bar help with the handling? btw what size is the stock rear sway bar?

i'm pretty sure u already have a front sway bar, so i assume u mean to upgrade your sway bar but, IMO, the next step in reducing roll is to switch to stiffer springs and firmer dampers. i wouldnt upgrade the swaybars with out upgrading the springs

I have a roush suspension and I could definitely feel the roll with the stock front and back. So you should do exactly what thenorm suggested. A 21mm front and 25mm rear seems to be prefered from what I have read.
