Well, install the RSB first as it will be the best performance (handling) mod you can purchase for our cars.

If you want to mod the intake, get the CPE intake. Its proven the best for the 3MZ and a lot of people are extremely happy owners, even after dishing out the $$$.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong but he's got an SE Sport, doesn't it come with front and back sway bars already?

Not 100% sure, but I think its just the stock RSB. I have a Gen 1 so I'm not real sure about his Gen 2.

Where are the Gen 2 SE Sport owners at??? Do yall have a stock RSB or not???

I'm not about to crawl under my car in 2°F weather to confirm, but my Gen 2 maintenance manual says all Gen 2's have ones in front AND back from the factory, the SE Sport just adds stiffer springs and struts.

^^^Haha, no TRD is stamped. I would imagine that a TRD stabilizer bar would be more robust than stock. Hell, I don't think the bars are even painted! No matter, the Sport SE suspension definitely prevents bodyroll. However, it ain't like riding in my girlfriends Dodge Neon that rides like it has cement blocks as shock absorbers.

Can you believe that here in my town we have a guy that has a turbo neon?!?! :lol: Its crap, I can even beat him. All I have is a V6 w/K&N Intake. It sounds good but he wont go to the track at all. Its also a very bumpy ride.
