[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15714735, member: 20202"] Sway bar selection is part of the chassis tuning process. All your doing installing an aftermarket sway bar is changing the roll resistance at either end but without some track testing all your doing is throwing darts blindfolded. SVT put a lot of effort in to tuning the Terminator suspension including front and real bar rates. Talking to some of the road races they usually change the rear bar but left the stock front bar in place. A few had good results installing a Eibach rear bar but even doing that is hard to determine if that improves handling without considerable track testing. I would reinstall the stock front bar. Maybe you can consider a rear bar but there are so many variables involved it will be hard to determine if you will get the results your looking for. Good idea to replace the rubber bushing with urethane and rear outer links with heim joints. Steeda made a nice billet front sway bar bracket to replace the stamped steel unit but looking at their new one it looks like they got cheap and eliminated the spacer bracket moving it closer to the chassis which me no like. old :) [URL]http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/0504mm-steeda/[/URL] new :( [URL]http://www.jegs.com/i/Steeda/957/555-8148/10002/-1?CAWELAID=230006180038121445&catargetid=230006180038440022&CADEVICE=c&http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jegs.com%2Fi%2FSteeda%2F957%2F555-8148%2F10002%2F-1%3FCAWELAID%3D230006180038121445&utm_source=bing&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Bing%20Shopping_New&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=_pcrid_75522711385578_pkw__pmt_be_pdv_c&ref=paid&brand=&channel=Shopping[/URL] [/QUOTE]
