Sway bars

Hey guys. So I've searched for a while now, but I can't find an answer to my question. I just recently got my 2014 q60 and I can't help but notice how much body roll my car has. I know sway bars will fix my problem. But my question is, would it be fine if I only did the rear sway bar upgrade? I'm looking into the eibach. I feel like the car is not planted in the canyons or any turns really for that matter. When I go to let's say, the mullholand snake, every time I make a left then a right the car just feels like it's wobbling. So if I only go for the rear sway bar upgrade, about how much improvemnt do you guys think it will make? Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing and I just actually installed whiteline rear sways on medium setting. Let me tell you it was a huge difference. I'm happy with just the rear and I no longer feel much body roll anymore.

Stiffening only the rear will reduce understeer. It won't have as great an effect as if you stiffen both ends proportionally. A pair of stiffer bars are more balanced in relation to one another. But it's not absolutely necessary to install both.

You probably won't be happy with the result by changing just the rear sways. I would do atleast front and rear sways plus the front strut bar, then you are all good. I was still no happy with the result since I do track a few times a year and I added coilovers. Now the car is exactly how I want it and I have a huge smile every time I drive.

As heavy as the G is, a good set of matched sway bars would probably be the best choice.

I have Whiteline's on my STi but they are terrible for corrosion resistance (2007.) Are they better now?

How much of a difference is the front strut bar in these cars?
