i want to get an aftermarket front swaybar before my first autoX event on the 27th, but im not sure which is the best for flat, solid cornering. any opinions? also, should i get some aftermarket bushings or endlinks? thanks guys, i wanna try to get this thing ordered ASAP
 
you can buy mine. i have the steeda front tubular... i love it, but its hindering where i will be going in the end... my front suspension and wheel rate will be too much and the swaybar will be more of a hinderance. for a mild to medium setup they rock all... loved them... but for a fully built suspension (as i am on the way to) its not needed. I also have the rear steeda if ya want. PM me if interested.

According to your Garage on Stangnet I see the following mods:

Suspension:
Tokico Premium Shocks/Struts
Eibach Sportline Springs
Pro3i C/C Plates
Custom Welded Full Lenth Subframe Connectors
HPM Mega Bite Jr. Upper Control Arms
HPM Mega Bite Jr. Lower Control Arms
Steeda Adjustable Rear Sway Bar
Steeda Strut Tower Brace
Steeda G-Trac Bar

I can not view your link to the Mods due to a firewall on this intrenet where I am but I assume you have the above.

If so, what characteristics does your Mustang have now? Does it have understeer / oversteer tendencies? If you put a bigger sway bar or solid links on the front it will increase understeer, but at the same time you may be able to adjust that out with your Steeda Adjustable Rear Sway Bar.

Sounds to me like you may be okay with what you have and maybe should hit that Auto-x as is and just see how it does. If you can determine what the car is doing that you don't want it doing (understeering / oversteering) then go from there.

Good luck and have fun!! :flag:
 
IIRC, increasing the size of the swaybar is "exponential," on it's reaction.


I'd personally try using solid links first, and if that's not enough, then go w/ the bigger swaybar and soft end links... As common sense tells me, incremental increases let you find the sweetspot quicker than trial and error..

yeah, i am looking for more understeer. i can always control/induce my oversteer with the throttle and my 4.10s, so thats not a problem.

EDIT: PM sent Torinalth!

Did you leave your stock rear bar on with the Steeda? If so, you can remove the stocker and that will tighten up the rear some and possibly induce some understeer.
