2013 Boss Panhard bar on a 2014 V6?
Like the title states, what do yall think? Direct fit from a 2013 Boss to a 2014 V6?
Better than the BMR Panhard bar or whiteline Panhard bar?
Need some serious advice

but it doesn't actually do anything except keep the rear end centered. It is indeed the same part across the board.

Kinda like selling the limited Boss 302 Sequential taillights! As scene on the '12-'13 Legendary Boss Mustang! A great modification for any "regular" mustang. lol A lot of people will go for anything, especially if they think they're getting a deal.

For the money, yeah, you have a lot of other options. Make sure you get parts designed for the V6 and not the V8... weight difference in the front.
I saw a V6 just yesterday with a bouncy front end...

I haven't touched my suspension yet.
Only thing i will ever do to the suspension is lowering springs and a panhard bar/brace.
That's it. But for that i will get the best ones out there (Steeda most likely)

"If you are seriously looking to equip your Mustang for good handling, then stay away from any stock pieces including Boss parts."
It takes a bit of homework, and reading up on some of these forums to learn.
Case in point: the rear sway bar of the V6 is 22mm. The GT is 24mm. The Boss is 25mm, and the Boss Laguna Sega is 26mm. I believe the front sway bar of the V6 and GT are the same (stock).
Installing a GT or Boss rear sway bar onto a V6 would be an improvement. I realize that too beefy a rear sway bar can cause oversteer, unless perhaps a tire/rim package is also added to the equasion.
For the non performance packaged V6 owner, improvements using GT or Boss suspension parts can be an improvement. Especially for those who don't have the deep wallets to fork out the cash for the top dollar stuff. I track my Mustang occasionally at a local private airport; for fun. I quickly realized the limitations of my non performance packaged Mustang. I started to look around for improvements, bang for the buck. I found a Boss rear sway bar, and in my case, it did help the handling at the track events I attend. And it did not break my bank account.
When it comes to front springs/struts, I'm with you all the way, as the springs are designed to work with the front weight, and we should understand/know that the 5.0 is heavier than the 3.7.
If it's all out track driving, then I'm with you as well. But for street handling and some mild weekend play, some of these suspension take off parts can be a huge improvement to a V6, and at a great cost savings. It simply requires a bit of homework to make sure what is compatable and what will work. Rather than steer folks clear of them all together, we should educate ourselves on what works, and what won't. it makes for a better site to go to for information.

Has anyone looked at that ebay listing again since yesterday?
I sent the guy a message and informed him of the fact that they are all the same and he has since revised his listing about it being an upgrade for the GT/V6.
HA!!!

He more than likely was refering to the front and rear sway bars as an "improvement for a stock V6", and the panhard bar was part of the suspension take offs from the Boss they were removed from.
No worries. Check out their site:

Nice Boss they are racing; won quite a few races.
They updated the ad, the OP and others learned from this (made me do some looking up), and everyone wins.
Now, lets find some oil filters on Ebay and discuss those.
