Sway bar for Fast Road Car

[blacksheep-1]

This is why I like the Ford Racing kits, you buy, you install, you go on your way.

On street only cars, I'm a big bar, soft shock/spring guy and here is why. Getting to "the absolute limit" is many time double or even triple the posted curve speed limit on the street.
So do I care if I understeer/oversteer or whatever, at that limit, since I have to be driving like "maniac" on the street, to reach it?

More important to me in initial turn-in. Yes tires are number one, but razor sharp turn-in feel, is mostly sway bars, unless you make springs/shocks more stiff than you wanted
for street use. Even very slow speed with quick turn in, can feel "sporty" on the street. The best part is being able to avoid potholes you didn't see (due to car in front of you lets say) and save your rims for another day.........

Others may have a different view but imo if you want nice sharp turn, as nice a ride as possible, and don't care about understeer at the limit then an adjustable 35 mm front sway set to full stiff and no rear sway is your droid.

As other said, dropping the rear bar size makes a very noticeable difference in turn-in. I was running with an adjustable 36mm front bar with the stock GT rear bar for a while. Moving to an 18mm rear bar was a game changer. Car will now hold a much tighter line without fighting me through the corner.

Ok does anyone have the part number for the 18mm bar? Does it come with endlinks included? It's cheap enough to at least try out.

To my knowledge Ford doesn't manufacture the 18mm bar anymore, so the best option is Dorman 927-203. You can find it for about $100 and comes with new endlinks and bushings.

And if you order the Cortex $225 rear roll bar that's exactly what they're going to send you.
