There's the million dollar question haha. I suppose I want more responsive/sharper steering in everyday driving. I've noticed there's a fairly noticeable amount of body roll as is and it can't hurt having the car more stable and flat.

I'm currently on run-flats and I figure whenever I switch over to non-RFTs, I'll gain a bit in terms of grip. And so I'm not too fussed about a slight loss in grip coming out of upgrading the sway bars.

I know it makes me look terrible but I'm looking at bang-for-buck while maintaining/improving current ride comfort.

Yeha I noticed a lot of people talking about how much more fiddly it is to install a rear sway bar. However, the appeal for me is that it will significantly thicker than the current rear sway in my M-Sport whereas I'm concerned I won't notice much difference going with the slightly thicker front sway. I figured though that having a significantly thicker rear sway with a stock front sway would leave the car somewhat unbalanced....would a strut bar have any impact on stabilising the front more?

Definitely prefer oversteer than understeer and yeah flatter turn in can't hurt, hence the sways. With that said, this is just for daily driving and not for a track...

Thanks again.
