I don't have the sport package so I don't have the benefit of the active roll stabilization. At the 1st Bear Mountain drive I really saw the need to do something so I was looking for a way to improve the cornering. I found someone selling the ACS anti roll bars a while ago and hoped to get them installed before the last Bear Mountain drive however that didn't happen. Today I finally got them in!!!
It's made a big difference, now feels much tighter in the corners with minimal body roll. I'm going to go out again after I post this and to have some more fun on the roads
Here are some installed pics.

Looks great Richard! One mod you should definitely do is replace your chrome trim with shadowline. It's cheap and it makes a world of difference on the entire look of the car. It changes the lines on the car.

I was out for a little spin just now...wow...its handling is so much better...even with my stock mushy 17" wheel/tire combo...
I'd recomend every non-sport to do this!
