Default two questions one probably stupid

1) After looking at pictures here and in the manuals, it appears as the stock front struts are not designed with any kind of adjustment built in. So that would mean camber is a fixed setting. Is that correct? it appears if you want to change camber you need plates for the top end and/or change out for cam bolts.

2) Are there any benefits to adding a sway bar to the rear end? Any recommendations? Want to set this up as a boulevard cruiser not a boy racer.

this is a v6 3.8L auto convertible.

For the first question, you are correct. For the more serious question, contact Sam Strano. He just helped me out and is an all around awesome dude. He is on this forum and he has his own website.

Lindsay is correct saying your correct, so I concur it is correct that you are correct to think that Lindsay is correct.... right?

Generally, the SN95 Stang can use a bit of additional rear-sway bar. This really depends on your driving needs as to if you should install one. Sway bars are a tuning device and as such, you need to know the answer to the following question:

Do you have any understeer/oversteer issues currently?

If you don't know or are not sure, you don't need a new sway bar

Thanks Jazzer, I think? You seem to know a lot about this stuff to. I suppose I could have just waited to mention other people. Sorry.

he he

NP.... just having a little fun with my pepes! From reading the description better just now, I don't see the need for Brian to get a new rear bar, as it is not needed for such a case as described.

I agree Jazzer. Dampers and springs are the main ticket, in my opinion, for most of us. It helps with the handling but it remains a DD with just those 2.
