I am wondering what some of you guys and gals are doing for Lowering springs and swaybar for those twisty roads? I am going on a Rally in Tennessee "Tail of the Dragon". I have the H&R lowering springs (not installed yet) and thinking of getting the steeda swaybar. I am interested in setup, swaybar setup adjustments for spirited driving on those twists and turns...wondering what your experience is and any advice...

Throw in the springs and bar and set the bar on its firmest setting. Consider adding the FenFab bushing braces as well…the improvement in the feel of the car with those is almost as big as adding the rear bar and for the price they’re a no brainer.

As unbroken said, springs, sway bar, and subframe bushing inserts really improve the suspension. Took a drive through Kentucky and Tennessee last month and it handled a lot better on the twisties! A blast to drive.

I haven't done the bushings yet, but the Steeda Sway bar and H&R Springs front and back made a noticeable slalom improvement on my '20 ST.
