I would. I'm really happy that I put one on. It corners much better now.

tech info- If your rear sway bar is smaller thick wise compared to your front sway bar there will be understeer.

just get a bigger front one too . i just bought a set of Bullitt sways, front and rear. i also got my Kenny Brown strut tower on and WOW. with the bigger front and STB, the front is planted so much better. i haven't got the rear one on yet because i don't have the bolts yet. now time to start saving for coilovers, new control arms, 13" brake kit, and the rest of the braces....

and oh yea...like the car already doesn't have understeer haha. imagine how much worse it would be....

Thats not really pwned but whatever, you think everything is pwned anyways.

By law, it's ok....well not ok, but understandable if you get in an accident by means of understeer. If you over steer then it's considered your fault. I had the article some where, I cant find it.

I'd get both the rear and the front. Getting one without the other is a little de de dee IMO but both by themselves will help, but toghether you'll come out much better. You can find front strut tower bars off of ebay from old GTs for nearly nothing, or you can pay the extra dough and get a new one.
