Ive noticed that the rear end of my car has a kind of jiggle to it when taking sharp corners fast or when the rear gets loose and then "snaps" back. I would like to cure this and am thinking stiffer sway bars are the way to go. Has anyone else experienced this and made it better? I already have the springs, strut tower brace, shocks\struts and panhard bar done.

I swear my 03 GT stayed flatter on corners than my 13 does with only springs, shocks\struts and subframe connectors.

Sway bars will keep it more level. The jiggle you're experiencing may be caused by the soft bushings in the factory lower control arms. I'd look into a set of rear LCA's too

I was thinking of LCAs for the sake of traction too since it sucks on these cars even with better tires. Are there any that don't require re-greasing all the time?

Lcas help but what you describe is diminished most markedly by either replacing the factory hydro bushings in the panhard bar with poly, or just buying a new panhard pre-assembled. Welcome to the life of solid rear axle. You might have to regrease LCAs, etc. once a year....really, it's not a big deal.

I have a BMR panhard bar installed already.
