Do you have undesirable body roll? If your answer to that question is yes, then sure; get some sway bars.

If you're asking if sway bars are unnecessary for a street car, my answer would be coilovers are unnecessary for a street car.

Well said.

OP, I run big Steeda bars and my car is very much a street car and daily driver. Yep, even in inches of snow. They are a great upgrade if you need them.

Depending on how firm your coilover springs actually are, bars might be best used to tune the handling balance to your own preference. Obviously you'd need to be looking at adjustable bars. Adjustable bars are typically a bit firmer than OE, so you would be reduce the roll a bit.


Personally, I think that roll in a street driven car is commonly viewed as being worse than it actually is. Though if you were starting over, doing moderately stiffer (adjustable) bars combined with better dampers but keeping the OE springs might surprise you.

I would first ask why do you want sway bars? What do you want the car to do?

Unless you’re canyon carving through tight switchbacks, probably not needed, but it all depends.

lots of high speed driving? Yeah I like more front swaybar for lane change response. City driving on typical crappy city streets, no thanks. Bombing the back roads? Meh most people shouldn’t be going fast and hard enough for swaybars to be a big factor. How heavy is your right foot?
