Post the out come, I could buy them now but I'v never installed sway bars (not that I think it would be hard)
But worried about how stiff there going to be........and on top of that, My car has no coil overs on it and it's not lowered yet ( coil overs Tein hopefully in the next month or 2) But i don't think the sway bars would have to much of an effect on stock suspension?? Would it???

Sway bars increase the lateral stiffness of your suspension (resistance to lean in the corners)

If you're looking to go to coil-overs anyway, I wouldn't worry about them being too stiff (at least what I've heard of the coil-overs.)

They won't change the ride height (they are easy to install...BTW), but in instances where only 1 wheel is absorbing a shock load, it will be stiffer.

I plan on getting the Mazdaspeed swaybars (once they come out...and I get a couple of extra bucks....)
