Its a 23mm swaybar and aluminum subframe brace I got from ebay. Identical to the on Matt (Echelon) has on his car. It really made a difference

As of today, this is as far as my car has gone. It is a completely stock 1999 GS. Other than the swaybar I only have a Pioneer headunit, LoCustoms antenna and a Skunk2 weighted shift knob. The rest of the car is completely OEM. Here we go :driving:
