Default Rear sway bar

I wanted to know if just a rear sway bar would be a good idea, the last vechile (srt-4 neon) i had i put a front and rear sway bar on(hotchik) but it induced alot of oversteer and made me loose control mostly during hard braking. Was thinking about the roush rear sway bar but in not sure how large it is or if its hollow?

I put on Steeda's rear sway bar. It's not quite as big as a lot of the aftermarket bars and I think it works very well with the stock front bar. I feel like the car is much more balanced and it doesn't push near as much, which is very nice. Easy install and pretty cheap mod to top it all off.

Hello, we offer a very nice rear sway bar setup. The bar is a solid 7/8" bar with billet end links. It will work well with the stock front or with our hollow 1 3/8" front bar. Give me a call if you have any questions.

<sarcasm on> Come on now 157db... those things aren't important! <sarcasm off>

A Mustang is not an SRT4, and too much rear bar is as bad as not enough. and there is but one hollow rear bar currently, but that won't be the case for ever. That bar is Hotchkis which is way too big to not be run in conjunction with their front. Which is a nice kit, because both are hollow AND adjustable too. But they are BIG bars....

I don't love the idea of a rear bar only, because I know how a good set of matched bars is balanced. But if you want a rear only, Eibach has them. And their set is well matched as well (I use them on the car I compete in). You have options, but as 157db asked what are you driving? What are you trying to get done? What are your complaints about how the car drives. Details matter, and while it's easy for some to just say "run this" there is more to it if you want a really well thought out result.
