I have a stock 04 GT. I'd like to take a bit of the roll out of the body, but I don't want to get crazy with a full suspension redo. I recognize that uprgrading one suspension part can have impart significant stress on other parts of the suspension.

Any advise on a relatively simple way to make the car corner flatter?

Thanks

Joe

Try sways...they are inexpensive and will not affect the ride quality much if at all....

^so they basically do nothing.

just get tein basics. they're cheap, and you're done unless you wanna really be competitive at the track.

recommendations for good sway bars?

AP or racing beat

Not true at all...they reduce body roll a lot without changing effective springrate much.....works well for a flatter ride without the kidney jarring ride that you get with high springrates


Racing beat has a decent price for a good set...or Progress Tech for adjustable ones at a steal...

eh. i wasn't that impressed. when i was on the stock set up with sways. the car still seemed to lean too much around turns. i needed more is all I'm sayin.

Thanks gents. That works. Any good installers in San Diego?

Rear is idiot proof...remove the end-links, and the brackets...and it falls on your face....

The front is a bit more tricks...but it just takes a bit of patience.....mostly to get the bar in and out. It is easy if you remove the lower plastic tray...harder if you don't

Progress or Agency Power.

I carry both.

Funny thing Progress makes Agency Power. Exact same bar...

Let me know if you have any more questions.

probably.

I want some now ...

I gotta agree...the sways were absolutely a huge improvement in body roll (I went with Racing Beat). I do still plan on getting springs/shocks at some point...

Danno and Swoop dog-e-dog,

Do you get the feeling that a zillion people keep asking about springs, bars and shock combinations on this forum? Why? My gut says that there is no good, cost effective solution out there that works well together as a package----thoughts?

I think it's cause they don't know how to read

There is tons of info...and a lot of options...but it takes more work to read and learn than ask another oft asked question
