The RE-11 255/35 is too short at 26.0", the 265/35 is a bit closer at 26.3". I don't have specs on the 285/35 but I'm estimating it to be roughly 26.7". The size differential would be roughly the same as stock in this case.

Yes you can still benefit from sway bars. Sway bars benefit most in the medium speed corners by reducing body roll and make the car feel very planted and balanced. The Stillen sways are a good aggressive street upgrade, the Hotchkis work well on track but are a bit of a compromise on the street.

^That's why I went with the Stillen bars; I could not feel the difference in everyday street driving but once you start pushing the car through technical roads, it is far more planted through transitions as well as giving you quicker turn in and a little better rotation depending on the which setting the rear sway bar is set at.

I plan to go with 255/40 fronts and 285/35 rears to get the overall diameter close to what the stock stagger is. However, I was told by the tire shop that I want a smaller tire in the front than in the rear......which I don't understand since the factory front tires are taller than the rear tires with the sport package?
