A swaybar will make a way bigger difference than a front brace. Our cars have a stock front brace, but no rear brace. Swaybars come in sets of two, one front one rear. Yes, they do work together and the more suspension upgrades, the better

The GS comes with both stock. A sway bar helps control weight shifting and "sway" In corners. Thicker bars help with handling.

Braces help keep the car tight in the corners, limting "flex" of the chassis.

Changing sway bars=night and day difference. Braces should be added to keep the car tight.

Red are braces, blue is the sway bars
