they used to exist. i beleive you can still get selby x-hd sway bars front and rear and these are a great addition. You're looking at 550$ ish for both delivered. This comes with poly mounting bushes which is very worthwhile.

i would suggest getting the sway bar kit, specifically the rear one for the 2g and getting someone to make a front strut bar. They are not that difficult to make but expect too pay around 150 for steel or 200 for alloy.

you wil notice a difference in the handling but these cars imrpove a lot more from sway bars. The chasis arent bad but they are very softly spring and thus roll to the outside of turns badly

If you're making it yourself you cant go wrong for price

yeah they are a little too intricate and also require spring steel of some type
