I'd like to further reduce body roll with a sway bar set. which is best.. progress, eibach, hotchkis??
The front bar on the progress pair is 27mm compared to 22mm in the rear. Won't that induce too much understeer? The eibach kit looks promising(25f, 23r) and I've always liked Hotchkis, though its expensive.

I am very happy with the eibach kit, mated with the A-spec suspension I am in heaven.
the suspension is very balanced i find, I have kicked out the rear end from time to time testing its limits. there still is a slight roll, but thats is necessary to plant the car into cornering, anything bigger I would think would be too much.
hope that helps.
Also Eibach seems to be a great value for the buck.

Does the eibach kit come with endlinks??

no, it comes with brushings only.
I have had the kit installed for 5k miles now and no problems with my stock endlinks.
honestly my feelings about the endlinks is only if you seriously jog the suspension (ie. Pothole, besides even stock those can F**k your suspension up) or are doing auto-X on a regular basis upgrade em....eitherwise for a daily driver and "spirited driving" stock endlinks will do fine.

What do you want to do with the car? Street driving? Autocross? Open track?
If you just want to get rid of body roll, then just about any of the avalible anti-roll bars combos will work.
If your trying to get the absolute best handling out of the car then you really need to do some reasearch, and talk to the guys in the Road Race/Autocross forum.
