Noob - Suspension Question

Hi All - I have a stock 2007 300C. I am interested in improving the suspension for cornering ability, but don't want to sacrifice the current ride. It's stiff enoughh for me. What I want to do is stiffen up or improve cornering capability (side to side sway) without comprimising the up and down ride. My searches led me to believe that sway bars would stiffen the overall ride. Am I mistaken? Not interested in lowering, etc. The roads in Houston are bad enough as it is! Any words of wisdom appreciated. Or even entertaining BS!

Dave

Im looking for the same thing. Cant really lower much because of driving through snow. But hate the side to side sway/flex.

Would a strut bar help?

Already one in there (hard to see, under the cowl, doesn't exactly tie the top of the towers together but has the same purpose), but a strut bar is designed to add chassis rigidity across the strut towers so that your alignment doesn't change from flex in hard cornering...

Something to that effect. I think you would be better off not buying one, unless you just like the look.
