dollars to donuts you don't have EDC on that car, but these guys are right, just decode the vin yourself. it's super easy.

vin is decoded, no edc.. so just spoke with Essex distribution and they recommend, a front and rear stabalizing bar to stop the body roll, and the bilstein b6 shocks to help smooth out the bumps in the roads, I didn't even realize our cars came with a stabilizing bar!!! looks like I just might be getting a better ride once I get the car out of hibernation this spring for under 2 grand..

Naw, wait till you see the labor $ involved to drop the subframe for the anti-sway bar upgrade.

JamesNoBrakes is right, the rear bar requires you to drop the entire subframe to install, which is very time consuming, the front is not as involved. If you're looking for greater body control, you are better off spending that money on good damping to start. Thicker sway bars are a great way to do this, but you won't be getting done both shocks and sways for 2k. FYI, Spuntyb has KW Street Comfort coils up in the classifieds, and they'd make a world of difference while keeping in your budget with installation.

bilstien b6 all four 1060 cnd, I think I will start with just those shocks. then the dinan front and rear sway if the shocks don't help enough...
