Default Steeda Rear Sway Bar Worth It??

For those that have done this, will this bar (555-1056) make a difference using factory endlinks?

that was the first suspension mod i got it helped stop understeering the dam car. i would get it. but now with my relocation brackets for the control arms. it always rubs up against the sway bar and makes an anoying sound goin into driveways.

would it have a positive effect on a 06 saleen, as saleenincreased the
front sway bar and keep the factory gt rear bar. this would be for a daily driver.

You would notice a difference but they are still pretty small compared to the size of the car so flex will still happen. To me springs and good tires are money better spent or a thicker sway bar.

Handling balance is more than just sta-bar sizes, so it would depend on what else Saleen did (and on your own driving).

If they increased the rear spring rates by a significantly greater percentage than they did the fronts and you're happy with how it behaves now, I wouldn't bother.

If it still 'pushes' a little too much, a larger rear bar will usually help. Just keep in mind that a little diameter increase goes a long way.

If the tail is currently trying to step out on you or run wide of the nose in only moderate driving, don't even consider doing this.
