Default Rear sway bar help

I installed a 8.8 out of an exploder so I do know enough to get into trouble. I now want to put a rear sway bar on the car.

I am looking for recommendations on which unit is best, and which will work with the 8.8

I drive only on the streets so far. I do want to be able to trac it in the future if i ever get away from my business enough to have the time.

Thanks
B

Without additional info about the car and your driving style, any recommendations would be just guesswork. For street use, I would not consider a rear sway bar. The handling characteristics get really quirky. For track use where you are throwing the car around and running really sticky tires, they are helpful once you understand what the rear sway bar does for you.
Best,

thanks Al, the main issue that I have is body roll. It drives me nuts. One thing I know i must do is upgrade the front sway bar. I am running the factory unit now. I do have upgraded springs in the front as well as the roller perches. I also have the 4.5 leaf mid-deye in the rear. I just really want less body roll and more response.

Your best bet is to contact Mustangs Plus for spot on info. A lot of us out here have differing opinions as to what would work best, but they sell and race their suspension stuff, and you can believe what they tell you.
Best,
Al
