VIR Anti-Roll Bar Sugestions

[Flitzer]

I own a 2012 5.0 GT with Koni yellows, K springs, and a staggered wheel setup (255/35/18 front on 9.5 and 285/35/18 Pilot Supersports), and I'm not sure what anti-roll bar setup to go with. What is a good setup as far as anti-roll bars go for VIR?

What is your spring rate split?

Camber settings?

Toe?

Typical tire pressures?

Need to nail those...

What size bars are on the car now?

I think you could go a notch or two stiffer and up to the equivalent of the Boss 25mm rear bar. You should be okay with your stock bars, but I'd expect the setup to push some with the staggered tire widths.

Agreed if he has stock bars and what is posted for the k spring rates are correct.

Not really what you asked for .... but......Going to a 275/35-19 up front will really make a difference!!!

Well what's the standard setup..600 front 350 rear, ford blue bar up front, 18mm bar in rear, holesaw the shock towers to get all the camber you can get..peel 10 psi off the recommended hot pressures and start there.
At least you said it right, they are indeed "anti roll bars" now if I can get these guys to call control arms "trailing arms"..lol ..I probably never will.....

its just because when we say trailing arms, the rest of the unenlightened stare at us with glazed eyes!

Yeah, looks like this:

Thanks everyone, it has stock track pack bars on it now.

With the tire sizes you listed, I would go with Grant’s recommendation of the 25mm Boss rear bar. Another option would be an adjustable rear bar that can be set as stiff as the Boss bar. See Grant’s spring and sway bar rate thread.

If you had a square tire setup, I would put a 35mm adjustable bar on the front and most likely run it in the full stiff setting.
