Replace swaybar with H&R or go straight ahead with Bilstein PSS

I just found myself a killer deal for bilstein PSS from germany for 999 euro, and H&R swaybar for 350 euro

I'm torn with the choices, just swaybars or go straight ahead with coilovers but with stock sways?

Anyone with either set up (or both) please chime in !

I don't have either one but I'd go with PSS9 and save up for sway bars later.

I did go with H&R sway bars and they made very little difference

if you can get a good deal on the PSS9's or even the B14 PSS you should definitely get them

I have both.
I installed the PSS9's first, followed by the sways.
Both made a significant difference in ride and handling, with the latter making the biggest attribute to handling.
I would definitely go with the sways first.

I had the rear only H&R sway bar on my C32. It helped during aggressive cornering no doubt. It made more of a handling difference than the lowering springs I had on.

From my experience, the swaybars make more of a difference in the handling, but you're best off to use both together. Start with the sways, and go from there.
