Default Suspension questions

do fox GT's come stock with rear sway bars

i have a rub in the back, but its only when im turning and the front wheel hits an extreme angle, IE when i put the left front on my driveway, and stress it like that, the wheel doesnt touch, but when i make a hard left onto my street, which goes up at like a 30 degree angle, it rubs, i think it does this because the rear end moves a little bit

also, how hard are panhard bars to install, and who makes the best

Why don't you just go look and see if it has a sway bar? I'm pretty sure they come with a factory sway bar but I know mine came with one when I bought it (I looked under my car).

As for the panhard rod, that is an easy install with a jack and some jack stands and your basic hand tools.

Mine's low too!

Are you going for better handling?Do youalready have some new lower control arms and upper control arms? I don't see anaftermarket sway barfirming up the rear of the car substantially.

yeah, but you dont have GT ground effects, i CANT get my head under it, but ill check later

it was all the way down via the P.O for handling, but ever since i got my 275/40/17 tires, the rearend moves and rubs sometimes, id like to be able to take corners like i usually do, but not have it rub=panhard bar and bigger sway bars
