Which rear sway bar?

I want to reduce body roll/understeer, so I'm spending the $$ for a rear sway bar...Roush? Saleen? any and all suggestions welcome! Ease of installation a plus!

It's in your signature already on your 'to do' list....

Springs in general alone will make a ton of difference, let alone struts/shocks and the swaybars in the kit.

I like the Steeda sway bars, and I like the BMR with end links. Both are really nice.

I hear that the Steeda is the one to go with but it's expensive. Don't bother with the front, it's really not all that needed, though it depends on what your car is oriented towards. I know the Steeda is on my list no doubt...but on the bottom because the price kills me! The FRPP package is suppost to be pretty sweet too, as well as BMR's. I'm just more familiar with the Steeda set up though...

Thanks for the responses...I'm not sure I want to do the springs /d specs because of ride quality....this is a DD in Houston....I don't mind the ride height I have (actually, it allows me to not hit ramps/driveways etc), but I do want less body roll, which is why I'm hoping to reduce roll w/o sacrificing ride quality by doing the rear sway bar.

I have the sport springs which are stiffer than the pro kit with d specs and i can still feel the body roll. sways are next on my list.

You could always go with the Roush springs for a very mild drop, D-specs, and sway bars. Just doing sway bars ain't gonna help all that much as the stock shocks and springs are soft. You are not going to be able to increase suspension performance without some sort of sacrifice in ride quality.

Nice setup, but kinds steep. Iwent with the BMR from Cr at Tillman. I'll be getting the Tokico Damper Specific next....infinitely adjustable between the max soft and hard...SWEET!

Do you have the d-specs on the max stiff setting?

How hard is it to adjust the D-specs? And is there a something I can put in the trunk to adjust the rear?

The DSpecs are very nice to adjust being that the valve is at the top of the shock tower. They say to put them at the the middle most setting and adjust from there out.
