Rear Swaybar very noticable on a V6
 
I just installed the rear swaybar on my V6. Now I know why Ford made the GT rear bumper so low to the ground ... to hide the sway bar. It is very noticable when installed on a car with the V6 rear bumper cover ...

Yep, makes quite a difference. I too noticed how low the bar is and how easy it is to see lol

I thought you were going to say how noticable it was when taking hard turns. This is more "Appearance Mods" ;)

THe intent was a handling mod .... but ended up being an appearnce mod. I haven't installed the front GT bar yet so I will reserve my handling comments until then ...

After installing the gt front and rear bars and lowering my car 2" I can corner so fast the the french fries i'm holding in my hand fly out the window.

You actually eat in your car??? J/K I have a french fry hiding under my e-brake handle that I keep forgetting to remove. Maybe I should install new sway bars and take a sharp corner with the window down - problem solved.

That was my intention to do as well! With the addition of Red LCA's..
I finally decided it was to much $$$ just to have red powdercoated sways. [:@]

I went with all silver instead though :)

LOL ... I was at a cruise in tonight and parked next to a 2006 Yellow GT. I noticed his rear sway bar wasn't hanging as low as mine. So I get on the ground and check it out. I have mine installed backwards! So instead of rising up under the car it is pointing towards the ground. Guess I'll be flipping it over this weekend. Oh yeah .. it did have the sticker on it that says LEFT ... but I installed it on the right ... [:o]

Wow.. I didn't think it was really possible to install the rear sawy wrong.
Now you have me thinking about mine lol [:o]

How'd you put it on backwards?!?! [&:]

RE: Rear Swaybar very noticable on a V6
 
I'm gonna fix it tomorrow ... I'll post a picture of it installed upside down .... :) The key is to make sure the sticker that says LEFT is indeed on the drivers side of the car.

RE: Rear Swaybar very noticable on a V6
 
Whoops forgot the picture of it installed upside down ... Got it installed correctly now ... so it is not nearly as visible from the back of the car ... also installed the GT front sway bar today ...
