i have boxed sfc's boxed lca's w/ brackets, and stb, would sway bars have a noticeable effect on my set up?

add Bilsteins first-they'll tighten the car up a LOT-you've got a 32mm front bar so unless your going to autocross i'd skip the bars

i got the Suspension Techniques 35mm/25mm solid sway bar setup ....REALLY stiffened the car, but they're heave, so only if you wanna AutoX.
In reality, you might not wanna go bigger than a 21mm hollow for the rear

Go ST 35MM in front first from what I hear... that's what I did.. and like the setup so far.

They would have a noticable difference on your setup but I would also look at other areas of the suspension before sway bars. You can do one thing at a time. Shocks and springs is where I would go next since you already have lca's and sfc's. I've spent quite a bit on my chasis and suspension parts and still have the factory sway bars. It handles extremely well and I'm still debating weather or not to play with the sway bars but if I was going to auto X I'd try a 35/21 combo.

I went with a ST 35mm in the front and a stock rear. I have koni single adjs. in the front and bilstein HDs in the rear. Im very happy with the bigger front bar. Some people thought it might be too much, but I really like the responsiveness of it.

I would do a little research before you jump on that 35mm sway bar. That would be a great choice if you auto-x on a regular basis, but my 32mm holds up just fine for daily-driving street abuse. I would probably recomend springs/shocks next though
