Sway Bars are on!

4Rowdy · 06-27-2007, 04:46 PM

Yeh, got my GT front & rear sway bars put on this morning. It only took the mechanic an hour to do both! Wow! What a difference, I read about the difference you would feel but never imagined it to be this good. Nice and tight steering, good cornering, massive improvement!!!
Finally rounded up all the nuts & bolts. Our Ford dealer wanted a fortune and could only get some of the parts, so I ended up having them shipped from a Ford dealer out of Washington! All the parts + shipping was cheaper from WA than it would have been to buy locally!
Nevertheless, wanted to let anyone know, who hasn't put on the sways, that it is a BIG improvement in the cars handling. I am pretty particular, and I am very happy!

Would highly reccomend this upgrade!
P.S. what the heck do I do with the stock v6 front sway??? (hubby said donate to the stupid neighbor toupgrade his crappy chevy!)

Yep, massive difference! I installed mine myself some time last year. It was hard to wiggle underneath my car, given I didn't have a good jack. Actually had to use the spare tire jack and just put some huge bricks under my tires. Abount an hour later I was driving it like I stole it. Just weaving back and forth on my empty roads.

A few months later I heard a real nasty rattling, jacked the car back up and tightened the bolts to fix it. Just so you know if you get a loud rattle.

Thanks for the heads up on the rattle, will listen for it. It drives GREAT now with those swaybars.

how much do front and rear sways cost for tem themselves and installed?

Got them on ebay for $136 for front and rear gt takeoffs, $35 for Ford oemnuts & bolts from dealership (included shipping. Our localdealer here in Nevada couldn't get half of the parts, so I had to order from a dealer in Washington!), then $70 for the labor to put them on (took an hour for all of it) It really was the best money I have spent!

GT Springs are stiffer too (at least non-Pony Pkg, Pony Package includes at least some of the GT suspension). You can get those as Steeda, Saleen, Roush take-offs as well. I belive the GT Shocks maybe stiffer as well but I would likely just go to Tokico D's if it was my car.

Last night I installed BMR LCA's and BMR rear anti-sway bar on my Stang.

Now I have a takeoff rear anti-sway bar sitting in my garage. If anyone is interested, send me a PM.
