Default stage I s4 handling imporvements?

Hey guys I just got my ecu chipped with GIAC and I'm starting to feel like I can accelerate a good bit better than I can corner. What is the best I can do without spending a whole lot of money to improve handling, especially eliminating understeer. Are sway bars worth looking into? Front/rear? Any input is appreciated.

SNUB mount..30 dollars, takes maybe an hour to install, HUGE difference. also a drivetrain stabilizer(pricey) but ive never tried one before. sways would make a good difference in cornering.

Ok but drivetrain stabilizers are for manual only I think, note I'm tip. And thanks I'll look into the snub mount

just a rear sway bar with bushings will be a great improvment. The front sway bar is beefy enough stock. in fact i would get bushings all around but they're a bitch to install. A drive train stabilizer does exist for the tip tranny but i have never seen anybody use it.

about the only way your going to see an improvment in the understeer is coilovers. But the cost effective mod is the snub

Definitely go with a rear sway - helps with understeer.
