Would some of you guys mind posting some pics of your rear stabilzers and other componenets? I would like to see the difference between the V6 stock, the V6 Pony Package, and the GT stock rear end.

V6, no sway bar.
PP, 18mm rear sway bar
GT, 20mm rear sway bar

Here is a pic of my rear end.
Roush shocks and springs along with
a 20mm GT take-off sway bay and
Prothane poly bushings.

I have upgraded a lot of my parts from stock but this is a list of what I have now...
Tokico D-Spec Fully Adjustable Struts & Shocks
H&R Super Sport Springs
BMR Tubular Adjustable Panhard Bar
BMR Tubular Upper Panhard Bar Support
BMR Adjustable "Street" Lower Control Arms
BMR Control Arm Relocation Brackets
BMR Rear 7/8" Swaybar (w/ Mounting Bushing + Billet End Links)

This is the H&R 26mm bar (dark finish); the other is ADDCO's 7/8ths bar.

Thanks for the info and photos, 157db. I have two questions. Is that just pretty much an easy bolt-on install? Also, what do you call the black bar right in front of your sway bar (it is stock on the V6)?

Wow, degeze! That looks awesome! How is the ride?

Thanks. The suspension feels tighter than stock, but it may be because of myspring drop though. With the factory partsupgraded I definitelyfeel more confident going faster throughcorners, knowing that the car is going to stay planted. Another benefit islaunching from a stop and getting all the power to the ground...priceless!

The bar in front of the sway is the panhard bar. It
locates the rear axle from side to side and travels
in an arc with up and down rearsuspension travel.
Its a simple install for either the front or rear sway bar.
You need the Ford hardware if you dont have a PP rear
sway bar. Make sure the GT take-off sway is from a coupe
if you have a coupe and from a vert if you have a vert.
They (6 bolts, 6 nuts) areabout $40 from Ford.
