Kurtz that's two post, of non help for the guy....

He asked a simple question....

1. Get the F-sport Rear Sway bar.

2. Get a more aggressive suspension setup, either (A) coils (B) upgraded fsport shocks....

Simple right

i have to agree with Kurtz on this one.

the OP's got BC racing coilovers already, and adding the f-sport rear sway bar will only increase the handling ability of his awd 2is marginally. specs, mods, and conditions being equal, the awd 2is won't "out-handle" the rwd 2is.

btw, i think the OP's moved on from his awd 2is... or so i've heard. /OT

if you wanted something that handled like it was on rails, the evo's a good path to go.

see you around.
