Default Thinking about getting a rear sway bar. Worth it?

What do you think, is a rear sway bar a worth while mod? Several places sell a Hellwig sway bar for $140. What ya think?

Chingon has the sway bars but they are Hotchkis sway bars. And I don't think they sell them seperate, only together.

I have had experience with Hellwig, and they are really good bars, and really help stabalize the handling. The only problem I have personally had, and have heard of many times from Hellwig owners is about brackets breaking. I had one of my brackets break a bolt and come loose. They sent me a new bolt no charge, but it kind of sucks when something like that happens. Imagine that happening when hard in a corner.

I have the Hotchkis swaybars on mine, real expensive for swaybars, but bar none, they will give you the best improvement in handling. If you get them you won't be dissappointed, and you will be surprized how noticable the difference is!
