Sway Bars
My original plan was to purchase the FRPP V6 front/rear sway bar kit - but I'm leaning toward the GT take-off rear/front sway bars from NewTakeOff.com since they're a lot cheaper.
My question(s) is this: Does anyone have GT take off sways, and if so, are there any additional parts (bolts etc.) that I would need for the install? Is the handling that much more improved?
Also, does anyone have the FRPP V6 Sway kit? How much and where?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Sway Bars
For the GT take-off sways, front & back, you will need this list of items:
w708737-s439 bolt quantity 4
w520213-s440 nut quantity 4
w711368-s439 boltquantity 4
w520214-s440 nut quantity 2
As for the handling, BIG difference! Car stays level when cornering, so anything in the trunk doesn't roll around!
(on one of those bolt parts, you will only use 2 instead of 4, but you can only buy a package of 4)

I think you can get them from your local Ford dealer, but I found this place to be the cheapest. Theyhave it all in stock, and ship same day for reasonable price. (parts + shipping totalwas 1/2 what our dealer wanted!)

RE: Sway Bars
Standard V6 has just the front bar while the PP has both. Gt bars are a few mm thicker than the sixers. They are all interchangable. I actually just got a rear bar from newtakeoff for $80 shipped, which is still a little more than I wanted to pay. I believe the newtakeoff one comes with all the hardware for install.

while you're at it, throw on some poly bushings (to ensure that extra umph!)
mossmustang.com has sets for fair prices
when I stuck the rear sway on it helped, and when I get my tax returns I'll be throwing on the poly bushings (along with tokico shocks hopefully )
