I used a stiffer anti-roll bar and recommend it, even for road use. =
Makes a  huge difference in body roll and improves the feel of the car =
in turns. Great for =E2=80=9Cspirited driving=E2=80=9D how the front =
sort of digs into turns. Makes the car a tad more =E2=80=9Cchuckable=E2=80=
=9D. Very fun, cheap. reversible mod.
