gettin eibach sport system when it comes out at the end of the month, but i dont feel as confident with the eibach sways in their anti-roll bar kit, as with others.

bmr's massive rear anti roll bar looks impressive, but there doesn't seem to be any front one by any company that looks much stiffer than stock. steeda's sways "dwarf the oem ones" as they claim, but 4mm outer diameter really isn't all that much, and i cant justify 300$ or so for 4mm.

any other options out there?
any other items that are crucial or helpful? looking for 2in drop, nice stiffen for around 1000$, plus or minus a couple hundred

i will probably get an adj panhard bar because of the 2in lowering...and the reason i want to go this low is all these photos with eibach pro kit on them look VERY un-impressive and leave tons of wheel gap still. they only begin to look decent with 20" rims (in of gap that is), which are waay too big for me.

not sure what it's like with the mustys but on my BMW and Mercedes former lives too stiff was bad as well lending waaaaay too much understeer.

last night I went dancing with my GT and I think the balance is dead on right from the factory - it is infinitely tossable and controllable. Granted it could use a stiffer/flatter turn.

Eibach really does a great job on the euro side - so let us know how the muscle side fares.

about the only thing I'm thinking of right now is lower control arms for the wheel hop. I haven't had any issues with suspension yet to justify spending the money to upgrade it. If you really wanna spend the money to upgrade the suspension I'd wait for Kenny Brown to come out with some stuff.

I'm waiting on Kenny Brown. They told me that they would have a kit out near the end of April. My big issue is the geometry. KB said that the kits that are out now were rushed and do not optimize the suspension geometry. That may be marketing on his part, but my '05 is replacing a KB Cobra, so I have quite a bit of faith in his products.

On my test drive, I also felt that it was balanced very well. That would lead me towards getting rear AND front bars with equal increases in stiffening.

In the WRX world, everyone tends to go 4-6mm larger in the rear to alleviate some of the inherent understeer. With the Mustang, I think I want to keep the original bias, but just flatten it out in the turns a little.
