I noticed a big difference, there still is a little bit of body roll, but not as bad as it used to be. The thing I noticed most is I'm not sliding around my seat when I'm making sharp turns, getting on onramps/offramps. The car is so much more tossable and fun to drive. I do have the 350 which is 150% stiffer then before, compared to 50% stiffer for the 250.
besides what everyone else has said i also feel that the suspension overall feels stiffer, which for me is a plus. my mechanic thought i would feel nothing. haha
I'm going to install rear swaybar this weekend I'm suprised the bushings dont required lubrication
Do not lubrcate the new bushings that come with the bar as they are "Special high durometer dry lube impregnated rubber bushings". You do not reuse the old bushings, just the brackets. Also make sure to orient the "slit" in the bushings as shown in the instructions when mounting in the bracket. Any additional lube could negate the dry lube or cause slippage of the bushings in the brackets.

+1. Read the directions carefully. The new bushings have slits in them. The rear sway bar bushing slit should face the rear of the car and the front sway bar bushing slit should face the front of the car.
No need for lubrication, because they kind of come lubed already. Just alittle.
so from what you guys said we don't need the front sway bar? since it is 6% different? I'm trying to see if I need to get both the front and the rear or just the rear.
did anyone have a hard time taking off the 17mm blot for the rear? i dont want to mess up r bend the sway bar links, i tried but its not turning a bit. any tips?

are you using a torque wrench or a regular (short) wrench?
