Do you mean sway bar? Modified Mustangs had an article this month on sway bars. Their suggestion, try to get a sway bar from a higher performance version of your car. In other words get the GT sway bar. $235 from Clevager Ford

i think he meant the strut tower brace, right now the best one would probably be the steeda one, pricey though. if that one is too much ($250 is pricey for this imo) you might want to look on ebay, there is some generic looking one that is about $100, i am sure it workes fine

i think the steeda one is adjustable or something, so you can tighten it

i assume that the steeda ones will be made out of better material too

Well, I can tell you this much, you won't notice much of a difference with a strut tower brace...

Now, with a rear sway bar, WOW, your car will literally handle like it's on rails. I can fly through a roundabout like you wouldn't believe now that I have a rear sway installed.
