I've had the front and rear sway bars on both my cars, so I don't know what it's like without them. The nice thing about adding parts at this point is that the cost is no worse than you can do on your own sourcing and you can negotiate easily to have them installed for you at the shop before you take delivery.

you bring up some good points. For me the savings is easy, i don't desire the bling, i.e the leather, the top notch gauges, etc. I want the functionality and quality. Im sort of a minimalist, sort of. In my current toy (95M3), it has no carpet, no leather, no radio, no heat, no air, etc. I would prefer to spend the money in the frame, suspension, motor, tarnny, and company history and service after the sale.
I think ERA will be a great fit, they seem to be able to cater to any person.
