My ol' Acura TSX (the car in which I replaced the sway bar) had a 17mm bar stock and I replaced it with a 19mm one. Did it handle better than the X1?

It isn't about laptimes really. No one is racing you to the 7-11.

It's about handling feel. It's about making the car a bit more fun to drive. And minor suspension work certainly accomplishes this, particularly with this car.

The problem is knowing which work, specifically, will improve things, and not just change things. I would be concerned about replacing the FSB alone, as mentioned above. Wouldn't that just introduce more understeer?

Good to know.
