I would think a drop would give better handling than sway bars. A r/t is 17mm I believe, I know the SRT is for sure.

I paid $20 for front and rear SRT sway bars..which suck honestly.

Go hotchskis or go home, everything else is not worth it if you plan on keeping the car

If you have the money, definitely go with aftermarket sway bars. Don't get me wrong the r/t sway bars are nice, but the hotchkis really are that much better. If money is a problem, just get the rear r/t and save for aftermarket sways. Of course, I'm assuming you don't have a stock rear sway bar. If you do then don't bother with the r/t and go aftermarket.

The SRT sway will be much better than no sways at all. I have SRT's and I am happy with them, they are better than the SE one's, and the weak link is now my tires. I have near zero body roll on Eibach pro kit springs. The ride is a little stiffer with the SRT sways but it is still livable. My GF isn't complaining yet! The only thing with used is you don't know what you're getting, unless you can ride in the car they're installed on before you buy.
