H-Sports DO make a difference...
...I got the H-Sport stabilizers, front and rear, installed over the weekend, and finally had a chance to try them out on a familiar road that tests such things well. Understeer is decreased, car stays flatter, steering feels more precise, car feels generally tighter. And, of course, the road feel is also increased.
I upgraded from the PSK rear bar and have the H-Sport rear bar set on soft, so the rear-end change wasn't as dramatic as it would be compared to the stock bar; nonetheless, it's still firmer and flatter back there.
I'm running stock-sized M2 snow tires now (at about 36 psi), and it'll be interesting to see what the wider Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires feel like in the spring.
I predict that I'll be wearing out tires faster than ever now, if anyone wants to hear the downside.

Great!
I'm really happy with the upgrade too. I went right to the hard setting and love it. I also took my M3s up to 40 psi in the front and 42 in the rear. Feels nice and tight but do you think that's too much pressure?

I'm not a tire pressure wizard...
...although I seem, with 38psi or so, to have worn my first set of Pilot Sport A/Ss down the center prematurely. Can't really say about the M3s, though. HPH

I think we're in the same area - I can help you out with that.
I think I saw on the RM forum that you're in Boulder County, right? I live in Longmont, work in Westminster. email me

St. Louis, but no H-sports...
If you do go the H-sport route, Brad, let us all know... maybe some of us StL folk (listening, Brent?) can drive cross the state for some famous Kansas City BBQ (and perhaps some seat time behind your 'car-as-guinnea-pig.'
