Heavier Front Sway Bar

[93-Oct Mayne]

Street hooligan here. I'm wondering if anyone has swapped the front performance pack sway bar out for something heavier/stiffer.

I'm already lowered on Steeda progressives so I'm concerned about making the ride too harsh for a daily driving, but I've noticed it's not quite as planted as I'd like on hard turns

Thoughts? Pfa

The GT's are running pretty big sway bars stock, not sure going bigger is the right move.

Maybe, but pretty much all of the aftermarket front sway bars are 35mm so there's some room to grow

I'm running steeda front and rear with endlinks on my DH. So far I've loved the steering feel and how it handles.

If you got Steeda Progressives already then stick with Steeda Sway Bars as they're meant to work in tandem as a system.

I agree it's under barred once you start to find its limits. I started with Steeda Progressives and Sways and worked my way to Ford Performance Track Springs and Sways as I preferred the linear response on the track and on the street. The Ford Performance Track Sway Bars are 37MM in front and 25.2MM in the rear.

I did the BMR sway bars on my performance package and WOW! I have BMR handling springs with the CB005 lockouts and Steeda adjustable shocks/ struts and the car is on rails. I set the bars to middle settings for a neutral setup and it’s night and day. Plus, discount code zander7 saves money on BMR parts too 🫡

Great to know that you started with the same set up I’ve got. Now after a season of sprints , one per quarter I’m ready to step up the suspension for the track. A question though, does the Ford Motorsports spring and bar combo remove the thought of a full days of driving with the wife for a holiday ? Is the DD and long cruises still kinda enjoyable?

A stiffer front bar and stock rear normally increases understeer. Do you want that?

Try reducing the snow level instead?

I do find the Steeda combo more enjoyable for DD, but the FP combo more predictable on road courses. Great looking vert you have there!
