2 new mods to my '11 Vert
I just had my Hotchkis Swaybars and Invidia Gemini exhaust system installed yesterday.
The sways completely change the way the car drives. The ride is not harsh, the steering is much tighter, more precise and the ride is much more firm and level. Taking turns now is a pleasure.
The exhaust is great too. It is louder than stock. You will be heard driving around town. On the highway it is a pleasure with zero drone and does not sound load at cruise speeds. Put your foot on the accelerator and the guy next to you will hear you.
I think the car has more power but without a dyno........
I found an authorized Invidia dealer on Ebay and got a great deal on the system.
Overall I am happy with both mods.
Only thing on the list is the spoiler. That is next.

Congrats on your upgrades. Drivability is certainly much better with the sways. I'm holding out for the new Berk exhaust although not unhappy with my current Stillen catbacks.
What spoiler are you thinking about?

I'm going with the stock spoiler, hoping to bang it in this week.
I have a local guy who teachs auto tech at a tech college here in NY, he did the work for me. Installed the sways and exhaust for $250.
Update on the drone. I do get drone on the highway at 50-50 in 7th gear. I have to downshift to keep the revs over 2000 to make it go away. I was hoping I wasn't going to have any at all.

Did you ever take any video clips of the sound of the exhaust or pics of how it looks on the vert. I am thinking of trying this one out but I want to see pics of it on the vert. And How was the fitment on it?
