I have searched, and searched. No clear answer as to the size of our stock sway bars, but I seem to see that they may be
F: 18mm and R: 16mm, can this be confirmed? Also, I see that the brand Prothane makes universal poly bushings. I hope you can see where I'm going with this. Will these fit? or is the length measurement off? Or Can anyone direct me to some that are known to fit? I would measure my bushings but they are disintegrated pretty badly to the point I am not sure I would get a proper measurement. Worst case scenario, I buy squishy OEM rubber replacements.

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out. QUOTE Ferdi says (11:29) No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings. |

Stiffer springs in the rear help to both improve traction and increase oversteer. Most semi-dedicated drag cars use undrivable rear springs to aid in launching. Weight transfer from front to rear breaks the front tires loose but makes the rear tires stick harder (a useless and bad side effect for FWD cars but could be beneficial to some AWD cars, like an open-diff front, torsen rear setup).
Weight transfer is mostly beneficial to RWD cars but it gets more and more dangerous the more torque you put down to the ground (wheelies are bad) There's a couple videos of MY2010+ Mustangs breaking front suspension parts because of an unexpected wheelie for not using wheelie bars since it's a street car. EDIT: I thought you said springs, but stiffer dampers will help reduce wheel hop which causes loss of traction. You might also want to look into stiffer rear differential mounts/cushion (like polyurethane) if you want the best traction back there.
