F-Sport Brace and Sway Bars
Better to do both at the same time? If not, does one (Front and Rear Sway vs chasis brace)improve handling better then the other?

If you do a search, this topic has been discussed in the suspension category many times.
Having said that, I would gor with the rear sway bar, than the front and see if you could tell a difference. Then go with the chasis brace. Good luck.

Most people don't buy the chassis brace.

Only the sways will improve handling. SOME braces help with the "feel" of structural rigidity during cornering.

Thanks all. Read lots of threads on both. But tough to find - which to do first or if both should be done at the same time to get beni's.

Do the sway bars. Significant improvement to the car.
Save your money on the brace it won't do anything measurable.

I assume you'll feel the effects of the brace if you drive hard around a track. It does look nice though

What I did was get the rear sway bar and the tanabe front under brace. The sway bar makes a huge difference when cornering. The brace doesn't really do anything but look cool when you look under the car haha

You'll only feel the effect of braces with significantly stiffer suspensions.

I have them all on coils and I'd say go with both bars first.
