    I am looking into getting some slp sway bars because there slp and they are the thickest according to the swaybar thread. I have a 06 prix, could i still use my stock a-arms? I was once told that if i got any swaybar other than the GMPP ones that I would need to get the 98-03 a-arms. Is this correct or not and why? Thx.

    Where does you sway bar connect right?

    Does it have LINKS like what fords use or does it have a smaller bushing that bolts down into the control arm instead of the strut tower.

    And a dorman bar will do just fine, its way better than stock.

    youll need to change your lower control arms to the 97-03 ones if you plan on running any aftermarket swaybars. id say you should get dorman front bar (rockauto has it) amd gmpp rear bar, along with some aftermarket trailing arms.

    I've been thinking of getting SLPs for autocross, I have GMPP and they are a huge improvement. Did you happen to have the Dorman before the SLP?

    Get coilovers first. You need to get the wheels and body roll under control first.

    Id suggest custom bilstein coilovers vs the other options.
