ok so here's the deal....

my current set-up is the H&R + Koni's .....

i'm thinking of switching over to the Suspension Dynamics System...which includes 24mm sway bars front and rear and a 1.25" drop

opinions...and don't tell me you have this or that other kit and get the one you have......it's either i keep what i have or get this ...what do you think?

Can you provide us with a link to more info on the system? I've never heard of it/them.

FocusSport now sells H&R 24mm sway bars for both the front (two different positions for different effective rates) and rear (non-adjustable). That'd have to be cheaper than replacing EVERYTHING and adding 24mm bars in the process. I'm not sure what kind of a drop you want/don't want, but H&R race springs (assuming you have the sport springs) would drop it maybe 1/2" all around from the sport springs (to about 1.8" to 2" I believe) as well as being MUCH stiffer.

I don't think the Konis can be beat for the money by much other than dampening adjustable coilovers or custom shocks (which will cost a few thousand dollars).

Well, you'd have to give us a little more info. Never heard of suspension dynamics. 24mm swaybars sounds really bad, and 1.25" drop tells us nothing.

Well, it's not ALL the info I need... The damping rates are not legible, and the spring rates are too vague to work with, really. The bars look decent, 22/24 is better than 24/24. The springs rates could be good, but it's always hard to tell with variable rates.

The drop is mild, which is good.

Chances are it's decent. It would be impossible to say for sure without driving really.

Oh wait, that price is absolutely ludicrous. $1200? Are you joking? $600US, would be more reasonable. An Apex kit is $400, what are bars worth? $200? Those shocks don't look like anything great, not like Bilsteins or anything.

I picked up the kit from SHM this past weekend...

It looks like a solid, complete kit..

will have it installed this weekend (also, Bluetoy has it, but uses his own springs). Will let you know how it pans out.
