: How well would ST sway bars help a stock suspension B14?

With a 30k stock suspension on my 98SE, I love the ride. The only problem I have with it is bodyroll. If I put ST swaybars on the car with no other suspension modifications (besides tires) would that simply elminate most of my roll and keep my smooth ride?

I had the rear ST bar and the ES bushings on the stock front bar on my first 99. It helped reduce body roll and was still comfortable.

I know its been awhile on this post but I would do what jacen99se did. A full set a bars will eliminate roll but it will still understeer the same. The ride will be about the same. Another option is just the stillen rear that is adjustable. Cost is 240 or so. Same as the set of two + $50. It's expensive but adjustability is nice. I have a full GC/Koni/Stealin rear/Stock Front/ES front. The Stillen rear is what made my car handle like a RWD (kinda). ES fronts made it less tailhappy. It is perfect now. You can get just the rear ST bar and save a lot of money. Also, a set of strut bars will improve your ride. MaddMatt hates people using the front Strut bar on classics. That has not been my experiance on my Sentra SE. My .02cents.
