STRANO PERFORMANCE PARTS Sway Bar packages + New Adjustable Sway bar for Convertibles

Announcing Strano's SB1-SB5 Sway bar kits, as well our new 1" solid 2-position adjustable Rear Sway Bar for all 2005+ Mustangs, including Convertibles!

A quick word about the new rear bars:
The 6805 is a new addition to the line which was brought about for a few reasons. 2011+ GT's, Boss and Laguna Seca Boss 302's are coming with 24, 25, and 26mm bars respectively. I wanted to offer a bar that gave those folks some tuning options without going excessively large (some bars are just way too big). This bar is also great for Convertible owners as it helps with the greater weight, and the softer dampers those cars come equipped with.

Part number 8419 is a Tubular 1" rear bar that fits nicely between the #8337 7/8" bar, and the 6805 Solid 1" bar. The 8419 is 3-position Adjustable, just like the original 7/8" bar and features all the same specs and features of the 8337.

Nice, I want to turn my '11 in a nice street handling machine since my 2005 is pretty much a drag car. Tell me this though: why no 2011 struts and shocks yet? I started searching for packages (sway bars, struts and shocks, LCAs, etc) and was surprised no one has anything yet. It appears even Ford doesn't, since you have to buy 2010 strut mounts.

Eibach has a 11+ specific strut. But I hear it's just okay.

But there really isnt a reason for it. You can use a 05-10 strut with a simple mount change, so why would a company redo the entire product for that?

Additionally, you want to replace the strut, but don't want to spend the money on a slightly upgraded gt500 strut mount, or even better a full heavy duty strut mount? That hardly makes sense.

Not to mention the price of the Eibach 11+ specific strut is about the price of Koni STR.T's AND GT500 mounts, so it becomes a moot point.

Because it's not a big deal to use the older struts in the car, only takes some different strut mounts. Simple. Koni has plans for a specific strut, and I'm sure others will have them soon. Well, Eibach already does and I have some in stock--but honestly I think there are better dampers and would rather change mounts than use those Pro-dampers.

And please be careful of packages... remember that they are designed to be an easy sale, not necessarily the perfect complete kit for everyone. The only packages I do are things I put together, and never is everything the same brand because I like to pick and choose what works best together. FWIW.
