Default Sway Bars for TT's

I was reading about Saner Sway bars and how they improved the handling of the car. Helped with the common under steer issue with the 3KGT. Are their other options out their? I have k-sports and rear adjustable control arms for improved handling. I'm just looking to make the car a little tighter and more responsive. I have already lighted the car I'm probably at 34xx lbs so any input would be great!

the vicous cycle doesn't seem to stop for some... others break one too many parts along with their bank account and end up parting everything out... for less than they paid... then taking a break for a while only to start the process all over again because they saw a deal that was just too good to pass up...

Based on how swaybars work, and the fact that you already have Ksports which are stiff, I wouldn't.
Swaybars and what they do

That link is awesome! I always knew that they took away grip instead of add it. I never understood how a bar in the back could affect grip in the front lol.

So basically, if you want the car to handle more neutral but with less total grip then upgraded sways are great. And if you do upgrade them too much (too thick/stiff) then it has actually makes the situation worse because the outside wheel isn't getting a lot more grip but the inside wheel is losing more and more right?

Again, GREAT link.
