sways
I just got a body kit on my car and i want to reduce body roll so i was thinking about getting a set of sway bars. However, since i don't know much about them, which ones do you guys suggest? and why? Please let me know.. Thanks

I'd suggest you do a bit of reading in this forum, just search for 'sway bar' and you'll find many threads that describe several options. There are three main options that most members have.
TRD Race Sways
Daizen Adjustable Sways
TRD Sportivo Sways
Each of them has pros and cons, depending on what you want to do with your car. You didn't describe what kind of driving you plan to do, what your sensitivity to ride quality is, what other suspension (springs, shocks, coilovers, etc) you have or plan to add to your car.
CLICK HERE for a recent thread explaining the difference between TRD and Daizen. Many members have been pleased with the decision they made on the sway bars above and each one is a big improvement over stock.

Like Dave said, lots of threads on this in the past. Once I get a little more experience with them, I will post some thoughts on the TRD Sportivo sways which I have put on my wifes 2k3 GS3, along with bilstein HDs. Just want to get some more time with the setup before I put an opinion up.
In the meantime, you might want to try and figure out what your ride comfort/handling capability threshold is. Many of the mods to "improve" handling are decreasing ride comfort which can be very easy to do with the GS.

The roll can't be that bad if you are sufficiently off the ground.

THe sways make a HUGE difference in the handling of the car. I was very skeptical but I got a set of TRD blues and am VERY happy with them. I did not notice any change in ride quality but steering feel and response are greatly improved apart from the handling.
