Do you know whether this will fit MY05 545 w/ sport package?
Mine has this coke can like metal thing in the middle of the sway bar that looks like an electronic adjustment.

Your sport package includes Active Roll Stabilization (the coke can device) so you can't change the sway bars unless you take all that out...don't do it! I don't have that so thats why i'm getting these. You should just upgrade the springs and shocks if you want to improve the handling.

Is this Active Roll Stabilization better than fatter sway bar?

Is there such a thing at the front sway bar?

I'm new to RWD and from what I've known street car is tuned to understeer.
I heard people upgrade the fronts to neutralize it???
Advice is appreciated.

I already have H&R Sport Spring and Koni Yellows on the way.

You will have ARS on both front and back. It should be much better than a passive setup because it doesn't come into play until you go into a turn, a stiffer sway bar will effect the ride in a stright line.

I'm no expert on the matter, but I remember reading that if you stiffen up the suspension all round then you're going to reduce understeer but then you could lose the back end earlier in a hard turn.

I would like to get Bilstein coilovers with Electronic ridecontrol http://www.bilstein.com/PSS_bro_fnl.pdf
