Are most of you guys running sway bars on the ERA?

Did you notice a big difference in handling, ride quality, etc?

Default Adding sway bars
65FIA289, in deciding upon the ERA FIA, you made a great selection! I have the 427SC model and a close friend has the FIA. We often attend shows parked side by side and we are able to point out the true differences in these two body styles.

I did add the front sway bar to my car and it helped some what in cornering but honestly the car drove and cornered very well before I added the bar. I added the front bar because for some reason the rear bar was already installed and I believe that you should have a larger bar in the front for proper balance and road holding.
