Keep in mind that I'm riding on oversized sidewall tires (235/55/17) and stock suspension.

As far as the ride quality, I did not note any difference. My wife however did - but she has this stupid habit of driving around speed bumps, and driving over them with only one side of the car. Obviously with a stiff sway bar the suspension is less independant, so that explains it.

But of course I did not inform my wife that I molested, errr, modified the car with they sway bars. I told her that the shocks are probably on the way out, and it will give me a good excuse to get a set of Bilstein sports in the nearmost future. Of couse I will tell her they are Lexus stock shocks. Of course I will have to come up with another excuse after the ride becomes even stiffer with those new shocks
