[QUOTE="5lho, post: 14726618, member: 134994"] Little things can make a significant diff on Mustangs, that's alot of what I love about them. I had Poly LCAs out back and rubber Roush UCA. Good improvement there but the SRA and the body were always competing in corners to see which one could get to the ditch faster, especially on bumpy roads. I've got a BBP already so, some attention has been paid to handling by the factory. It's not perfect, as I outline but, it is ok for a road driven, daily car. So, to deal with the dancing SRA, last week I burned out all the rubber in the panhard bar and the sway bar links and mounts and replaced it all with poly. 50 bucks worth of bushings and a bit of mess and time and the back end really seems tied to the car now. MUCH better than even the gains from the CAs. I've been told by handling-focussed folks the car needs more rear sway bar and since I already have the 24mm, upping its rate with stiffer bushings seemed worthwhile compared to replacing it. The factory panhard was a surprisingly sturdy piece, just the fluid-filled jello-shot bushings were the problem there. Still think the dampers could use more rebound control but, that's down the road a bit, as everything is still working pretty satisfactorily...gotta get my money's worth out of the BBP stuff :) ...and I also drag race the car, and road trip it...that's the Mustang, it's a do-everything car....
