Can you describe in more detail what this mod does? I definitely do not want any harsher of a ride for my V6 and I'm curious what this mod does for you?

It basically helps stiffen the suspension, makes the car turn tighter i believe.

Basically, it eliminates body roll when cornering... makes you more like a Go-Kart. Makes a REAL noticable difference.
Those who drag race have also said it helps control squat when you lay down the power, and therefore leads to better track times. I don't know this from personal experience.

Where did you get these from, if you don't mind me asking? I saw some on diversified marketings website that looked reasonable.
Thanks

I got them from Diversified, won an auction and got them for $89 plus shipping. I then got the correct bolts and nuts from Ford for $50 more. Most people just bought the nuts and bolts from Home Depot, but I am anal, and if I can get factory for $50 more, I'll do it.

Stickman.... don't know what to say.... all rear sways have those links. On the vert bars, the links are white (so I am told). On the coupe, they are black.

LX200, I think that was a good guess. As far as I can tell they are called stabilizer Links. I tried to look them up in a Ford parts online web site. The drawing they have is a bit different, but the vertical links are called exactly that. BTW, Ford doesn't call them sway bars, they call them stabilizer bars.

After a few months of driving around with my new rear sway bar, I found that I needed to tighten the bolts. Starting making an annoying clunking sounds when going over bumps. Hope I don't have to keep doing that every few months.

Might be a good idea to use some Locktite on them.
