Default rear swarr bars??

http://www.americanmuscle.com/swarr-...rear-2005.html



Keep your Mustangs horsepower and torque planted to the ground with a Swarr Bar from AmericanMuscle. The Swarr Bar is designed as a rear support for the 2005-2008 Mustangs running the 8.8" straight axle. This is an absolute must for any high performance street/strip Mustangs. Easy bolt in design, constructed of mild tubular steel that has been TIG welded for strength and durability, and powder-coated black to last. The Swarr Bar keeps your rear end from flexing under load from the torque produced by high performance mustangs eliminating rear wheel hop getting the power to the ground were it's needed.

NOTE: 1986-2004 Swarr Bar shown above for illustration purposes only.

Features: [ul][*]Constructed of mild tubular steel[*]TIG welded for strength[*]Fits 2005-2008 straight axles mustangs only[*]Does not fit IRS rear ends [/ul]

should these and some LCAs help with getting all the power to the ground,
say if I was gonna go ahead and get 3:90s(or maybe even 4:10s ) & a 3500 stall TC?

Would I also benefit from full length sub-frame connectors?

well unless your seriously pushing some hp, like 7.8 or 900 hp i wouldnt say spend your money on sub frames, now if you auto crossing and taking corners and road racing then they would be a plus as they are designed to help prevent flex.

as for the swarr bar, thats a interesting peice, i will have to do some homework on it but of the bat, depending on your mods i woudnt say its a waste, but it would depend on what you realy want from the car

i wouls assume that these prob would only truly work if you had lca and a upc, when it comes to peices like this, they dont tell you that you need other core components upgrded to get the full benefit out of this peice. im not saying this peice is like that, but it usualy isbetter when your dealing with suspension

If you want to add to the frame stabilaty then ck out BMR subframe connectors. And that swarr bar IDK never heard of that!

It's made to strengthen the rear end and tubes (helps with flex during launch). I was looking into ordering this. However, in most cases (unless your pushing big power) just welding the tubes is sufficient. They are press fit from the factory.

I currently have mine welded and just ordered the BMR extreme roll control. I was looking for the Swarrbar after seeing it on one of the Cobra's at the shop (9 second car).

Thanks for locating it for me OP!

It doesn't say it but it does reguire you to drill two holes in the rear end housing.

Just thought I'd mention that!

R Extreme Anti Roll Bar is AWESOME it really keeps your car stable and I personally love my sub frame connectors but I have heard from many people that these cars are built better then the S95's and do not require them as much. I have the BMR Subframe connectors just like EBR. Here is a pic of my rear suspension set up. Its working pretty good but still not track time with it yet.
