If anything, get spare parts before considering swaybars.

Arms, knuckles, hubs.

You don't even have the car yet, so do some due diligence and see what kind of tire they run in Montreal and stock up on this tire and the available/preferred traction compound.

If it's anything like Western Canada, it's either a Sorex, Sweep, or Gravity tire that people prefer to use.

If you get the car and notice you are breaking parts regularly, i would then recommend that you get a front diff with 200K before slapping a pair of swaybars on. Diffs absorb shock a lot better than touring cars that either push into turns or over-rotate out of turns (this is what swaybars will do to your touring car).

This is also why a 4.2 FDR (or higher) is recommended. Learning to control a slower car is always more productive than smashing a really fast car and burning up a motor.

Btw: there is a hudy setup station in the canada buy/sell for $40. It's a good idea to have one of these too.
