Yep, best to have it checked after the install. Mine was only out a smidge. Didn't notice any pull at all. Check out StangSuspension.com. They got some real good prices.

im finding with my car that since ive started to go away from the roush suspension to the bmr stuff the ride has gotten a bit softer and the handling hasnt really dropped off. car definately launches better,but i havent got to the track yet, so i can give you times. set of the pants is roughly 1.7s versus the 1.95s on the roush stuff. i perfer the way it launches straighter to

Default Hotchkis Sway Bars

Anyone have the Hotchkis Sway bars? How do they compare to something like BMR. They appear to be bigger for both front and rear, but curious if anyone has tried both.

I bought the Roush kit, along with their billet LCAs, and I cannot complain. Ride is stiff, for sure, but the car stays very flat. Local Ford dealer had it in stock, for the same price as listed on the US website (usually in Canada, we pay 25-50% more.........plus the shipping would have been at least $300) so I could not refuse.

I think Roush's customer service is better.....I'm having some issues with Saleen right now. Hopefully they can renew my confidence.

i am not sure if it matters to you at all but for what its worht i have the saleen suspension kit on my 07. I absolutely love the way that it handles and it is even great with my 20"s. The ride is not stiff but it really hugs the road.

Thanks - I've heard good things about both the Roush (thatTopGear show loves the entire roush package over the GT500's suspension)and Saleen too. Are all sway bars adjustable? One of the things I liked about Hotchkis is that you can adjust both the front and rear in addition to being the largest I've found. My car is used mostly on the street, though I may take it to the track eventually so I'm looking for solid handling. (I'm tired of 350z's and G35's beating me on the curves)...

Sway bars are not adjustable on Roush or Saleen.

From what I understand roush is better if handling is your thing. Saleen is better to live with. Heard people who track there cars and take it around circuits say the roush suspension is much better.
+1
Saleens your paying for a popular name.
Roush your paying for a popular name AND high performance handling.
+2 and +3
Saleen for ride
and Roush for track
