I have a 95gt, I live in a windy hilly area in western PA. I am a vol. firefighter and was responding to a fire call. To make a long story short, I snapped my rear sway bar, car bottomed out in a turn and of course the handling went away. Does any one know where to pick up a new one cheap?

Have you considered a nice aftermarket bar? From what I gather from chatting with folks who have them, they are not all that expensive (vs spending money on used stuff).

Good luck.

How different does it feel after replacing the stockers with aftermarket bars?

its like night and day.the car handles the corners much,much better than with the stockers.i get almost zero body roll and corners that i used to have to slow way down for i dont anymore.i think it is something that you have to get used to cuz it feels so much different in the corners.i have more fun drivin this thing now than i did before.

oh yeah i should add that my car has been lowered abit,about an inch,so that would make a difference if your car is not lowered alittle bit.if its still at stock height it would make a difference but i dont know how much,i just know on my car the difference in handling is really noticable
