Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

Putting just springs on the front is better on the pocketbook, but you've got to remember that you're just putting lipstick on a pig; and that you can't make any adjustments to, or rebuild at any time. If you like a fresh ride like new, a shock will need to be rebuilt. I would rather spend a few dollars on oil and nitrogen, maybe a seal or two, than on a whole shock when that time comes! It's a rabbit hole that only your wallet can choose! Good luck

I hear you about adding uprated springs on a lower quality shock. Normally, I would have liked to have had my front shocks dyno-ed to find out their spring rate limitation. That said, the OEM shocks seem to be pretty reliable and at around $100 each, pretty cheap to replace.

YES, an upgraded sway bar definitely helps handling. We added the Baja Ron original sway bar to our 2020 RTL shortly after we purchased it. Last fall we added a 2024 F3 Ltd and Ron said try it with the stock bar for a while. The first time I got behind a semi truck and another one passed me on the freeway, I knew that I needed to change it too. The day after I installed it, I jumped on the freeway and duplicated the above situation. BIG difference.

I added a BajaRon Ultimate sway bar and noticed a pretty significant change in handling. Coming home from the shop, the speed limit in one area was 60 with many curves listed at 50. I had my cruise set for 68 and never slowed down going through the curves. My wife and I are on the heavier side, which is why I went for the larger sway bar. The installer at BajaRon's told me my wife would see the biggest difference, but I can tell you, one up after the bar was a night/day difference!

If you're doing curves with your cruise on, they were not heavy curves I hope!!! Don't really think I would do that myself; I like full control of my destiny threw the rhubarb!! Did you get some shocks while you were there?
