M7 USS or H-Sport Comp Rear swaybar

Hey, ive been looking for my next upgrade and im torn between spending $250 for the H-Sport Comp Rear Swaybar or $350 for the M7 Under-Strut System. I've only heard good things about both products but which will make a more significant difference in handling and cornering. What advatnages does one have over the other, all opinions welcome.

thanks in advance

you are on stock sway now? definitely do a swaybar, though the comp might be a bit much unless you are tracking it (even then, some like TSW don't recommend it). The normal 19mm bar is a better choice if you want a more forgiving approach to the limit.

Swaybar will make more of a diff.. USS stiffens the chassis and the swaybar will make the car turn flatter and take out understeer. I personally pefer a 19mm....

Choose swaybar for the most immediately obvious improvement in handling.

Nothing else come close for that kind of money.

The 19 is a better all around bar for people who track the car now and then.. Firmer than that even on the softest setting can make the car a little rough and jittery for daily driving, my 2 cents. And others such as TSW, Dinan, etc like the 19 even for comp. and some suggest if you want to take out more understeer than the 19 will provide to go with camber plates, for a better balanced car...IE: not trying to solve everything with one thing... Just my opinion as I know others will disagree..
