Sway bars

[Tru_Blue_104]

Im planning on upgrading my front sway bar and getting a rear one. I'm looking at the Steeda Rear Sway Bar. But for the front I'm not really sure, should I get a Steeda one also? Give me some input. Thanks guys.

i just went to pickapart and pulled a 5.0 (gt) front sway bar and a turbocoupe rear sway bar, , work awsome, they were cheap (like 30$ all together) man what a differnce a sway(bar) makes...*ok so it was sposed to be cheezy like the suite comercial!

Now Im thinking about going with the steeda ones on both front and back. expensive, but seems worth it. if i cant go fast going straight, then I'm damn well gonna go fast around turns!

Junkyard!!!!!! Save your money or mail it to me...I take paypal

 

[Tru_Blue_104]

I can't find a junkyard with them around here. Nowhere! I'll look a bit more, but so far its been unsuccessful. Are the Steeda ones bad at all? After all, they are supposed to be stiffer than stock.

Maybe, but time is of the essence. I need them in less than a week.

I havne't looked recently but I thought the steeda rear was supposed to be used in conjuction with a stock GT rear? Maybe I was tripping out when I read it though...

 

[Tru_Blue_104]

Actually, I think youre thinking of the adjustable one, Im talking about the replacement one. My question still stands about that link above

Just as good but man the price.....

 

[Tru_Blue_104]

Price doesnt matter, I just need something that comes with everything, all the hardware. See, I have this bad luck that whenever I work on a car, nothing goes right. I find that the only way for me to do something quickly is to have everything together and know its all i need lol.

Eibach makes pretty good suspension stuff form what I have heard... However, those endlinks look insanly short, the bar is slightly different in shape, but still. It should work since they are selling the kit for mustangs....

-TG

IMHO its not worth $260....I would invest in some nice lowering springs, get a GT front (or there are some good size ones on T-birds that should fit) and a GT or T-bird rear. Then I'd go and spend the left over money on some Eneregy Suspension spring insulators, endlinks, and swaybar bushings. That would give you a nice look, and should handle pretty damn nice.

 

[mightypoof]

You'd probably even have some money left over for say...a strut tower brace or something like that...

 

[Tru_Blue_104]

Well, i didnt see those replies until now, I ordered it. Oh well, we'll see how it goes, and the pic is just a generic one, Im sure the real product is different. Anyways, I cant really lower the car anymore because I already did. Strut tower brace is next, thanks guys! Oh, and I plan on installing everything next week, so I will let you know how it is then! Thanks!

 

[Tru_Blue_104]

Hey, just one more quick question, I've heard that having stiffer sway bars make the ride on bumpy roads worse. Is this true? Have any of you guys experienced this?

 

[mightypoof]

It may do that a little? I do know however that lots of guys disconnect them on the drag strip because they hinder weight transer. A lot of guys think you get better et's without them.
