Good point.. Lol. somehow I didn't even realize that shocks and struts weren't listed on the mod list. This is probably your issue. The improper dampening will cause the ride to feel bouncy and allow a lot of swaying still. I say go with the Koni Sports first and see how they do. They could be enough on their own for the most part.

If your issue in the rear and swaying still remains then consider a watts link and sway bars next.

 

What do you see as a better sway bar option? Any personal recommendations? I see you have the Strano bars in your sig, what was the basis for picking them?

I plan on doing each part one at a time, starting with the Koni Yellows, to see if I need to go to the next step. I have a feeling the shocks/struts alone will fix most of my woes. I also plan on 18" wheels.

 

I think 19's would provide more of a balance of corner stability and traction but I'm also no road course racer so what do I know? Lol. Tires for 19 inch wheels would be more expensive though too so 18's will probably do well. You would just have to find some with the proper offset to fit the bigger brakes.

 

I'm thinking I might go with function over form and just get a set of TSW Interlagos in 18x9.5 and mount 275s on all four corners. In a perfect world I'd have a set of Bullitt rims that weigh as much as the Interlagos and clear big brakes, but alas, I can't seem to find any for a reasonable price.

 

CMcNam,

I chose the Strano bars for several reasons. I liked the idea of tubular for weight savings and the higher grade materials. I wanted adjustable so I could better match it with different rubber and my driving style. I also got great advice from Sam and so went with his product. He updated his website. He has the OE and many competitors bars from a stiffness perspective on the rear 25mm tubular bar link, check it out. You should be able to see where the whiteline product will fit in. Currently I'm in the middle holes front and rear. With my old spherical joint rear LCAs the middle hole which is around 186lbs/in was good for the crappy streets. I recently went back to the stock rear LCAs and the rear end is softer around turns, new LCAs being delivered as we speak. If I hadn't been planning on going bar to a stiffer LCA I could either move to the stiffest hole on the rear bar or go with a stiffer sidewall tire (18s) to firm the rear back up around turns.

I recommend the Strano bars but you would be happy with any new rear bar as all are stiffer than stock and a big improvement. But as I said above, I like the light weight of the tubular bar and the adjustability. The Strano bars are cheaper than a compareable Steeda or brand X bar.

As far as the front bar is concerned, the car handles better (subjective I know) with a bigger bar, so I would go with a bigger bar. If I remember right the stock GT bar is close to 32-33mm and is solid so I don't know how much stiffer the whiteline 33mm bar will be. I'm sure with it being adjustable it spans the stock bar's rating.

I don't know how many miles you have on ur stock end links but I recently found one of mine to be bad. I would say that after increasing the front bar stiffness the Achilles heel will be the end links. Steeda has some competition (ie adjustable) back on sale, otherwise whiteline or Strano have some for a few bucks more.

It's cool that you are doing the stuff one at a time. You will be able to appreciate the improvements in ride and understand how each component affects the handling. I would speculate that the shocks and wheels and tires will yield the biggest change.

 

I went with the Shelby Performance Parts front End Links. I am happy with them, but they still are a little difficult to adjust on car. Since I bought them UPR Products have come out with a version using a socket headed cap screw. Would appear to be a little easier to access than the Shelby Links. Anyone have any first hand experience with the UPR End Links?

That's some really good information, thank you. My end links seem fine now, I'm under the car pretty regularly just to see how things are doing. Based on feedback here, I think I'll hold off on sway bars until after I see how the Konis and Watts Link affect my ride. The reason I'm doing the Watts Link at the same time is because I don't want to buy an adjustable panhard and then upgrade later. I figure I'll just do it now. I'm really interested in the Strano parts as well and have heard nothing but good things, so we'll see how things play out.

 

These are the bullit wheels I'm considering. I'm hoping that with the 38mm offset, they won't rub with a 285 tire and hoping the spoke pattern will clear a BBK.

Good luck to you, post pictures if it does clear because that would be quite the find!

 

I'm using the UPR end links on my car. They were super easy to install, and they look nice.

Regarding the OP's suspension choices, I like the Koni Yellows, I prefer UPR control arms, and I'm using UPR's PHB. But Watts Links are nice.

Here's my setup and I'm very pleased with it:
