Are the stock sway bars really all that bad or is the give/roll mostly due to the softer rubber bushings?

 

The rear one is fine... the front one is kind of spindly compared to say the FRPP part.

I put the FRPP sways on my car and noticed a significant difference.

 

I don't know about that. I upgrade my stockers to Eibachs and the rear is signifcantly thicker than the OEM one. I did install billet end links as well.

 

I put the BMR front and rear that are adjustable. the bushing are prothane

 

The stock GT front bar is actually quite decent. The rear can be improved on with a heavier/larger bar & better links.
Have the Eibach front/rear ones on mine. Noticed an improvement when I installed the rear, not much difference when I added the front. Stretched the project over 2 weekends.

 

The stock front one can't be all that great, because I deleted mine and really don't feel much difference on the street, at least. I'm sure aftermarket bars with stiffer bushings would be a good improvement.

 

I have upgraded to the Steeda front and rear bars with the billet end links for the rear and the billet caps up front and they made a pretty significant change in the car.

Worthwhile upgrade in my opinion. The car has almost no body roll at all now.

 

Thanks all. I don't think I'll mess with the stock swaybars. I've got Steeda sports, tokico D-specs, BMR brace and adj panhard sitting in my garage. I want to get rid of the 4x4 look and improve handling a bit. Do I need to be concered with bumpsteer and pinion angles, etc with a 1" drop?

 

I replaced my stock swaybar with a BMR piece. Definitely thicker and made a difference.

 

How do you like the D-specs? Can you adjust ride height as well?

 

There not installed yet just sitting in my garage. You can't really adjust the ride height with the D-specs just the handling.

 

To adjust ride height you will need a coil over setup.

The New Eibach setup looks very nice.
