You should Consider getting Front and Rear Strut Tower Bars..As far as your Coil-overs...I think that you should save some money and Buy A set from Me for only
$107.00 and that includes the shipping

WB: There is no rear upper strut bar for the 6th gen.

OP: Support bars definately do help, but springs (linear and torsion) will make a much more noticible difference in handling. Megan isn't a brand that I'd look at for springs or sway bars, but those are the 2 most noticable upgrades. Dampers are very important too.

After the coilover setup (remember to get Ingalls full front control arms for camber adjustment ..... the rear adjusters are all the same and can be cheaper) the next part you should be looking at are sway bars.

 

Rear sway will do wonders in stiffening the rear end of the vehicle and reducing understeer.

 

Cheap offset ball joints are no good for 6th gen's. They don't fit right, have to be ground down to not hit the body of the car and I killed a set in under a year. I don't know why Ingalls is selling them for the 6th gen, but the full control arm setup works great and actually improves the geometry of the suspension making it stronger and better handling than the weak, ground down ball joint type.

 

Front and Rear Strut tower bars 45MM will give your car much stability..right Falkore [sm=smiley25.gif]

Sure, but on the 6th gen sedan, the rear strut towers are in the corner of the rear seats under the plastic shield. There's no bar that will fit it because there is nowhere for it to be ..... unless you don't need a rear seat or separation between the trunk and cabin.

EDIT: Support bars provide rigidity, not stability. Sways will improve stability along with springs and dampers.
