For real handling improvements on curvy canyon roads, what would be more effective?
Lowering springs (from _____?)
OR
the larger rear anti-roll bar + the front and rear lower frame braces from UltraRacing (available from Throwdown Performance with free shipping)

I have Arden springs all around. The only shimming involved the rear camber & we used factory shims. I have had the springs for about 6 years as well as the poly bushings, the Ultra Racing braces have been on about 2 years.

JgaXkr,
How much difference did the Ultra Braces make? Did you get all three(3) or what? I am familiar with top brace when it comes to a front wheel drive but that is about it.
I measure rear anti roll bar at 19 mm on my car(2006 XK8). The Ultra roll bar is showing 20 mm. I am wondering if you know what your rear roll bar measured initially. This seems to be info not floating around handily. I wonder about changing this piece out.
