polyurethane sway bar mounts, just installed Options

[Valo666]

For awhile now ive been debating about upgrading my sway bars. I didnt know if i wanted to spend $350 on a set of ST susp. sway bars all around or not. So i ended up buyin some of thouse twosrus end links, made a bit of a difference, but still could notice the body roll. So lately ive been thinkin of gettin some polyurethane mount bushings for the front and rear and just using my stock GT sway bars. I went to the dealer about 3 weeks ago, ordered in one mount bushing of each sway bar, and took them to the speed shop i used to work at. They didnt wanna order a rear one because of the kinda oblong shape of it, but they could order in the fronts. SO i picked them up on friday when i got home from Windsor, and since i ripped the boot on my cv shaft and the entire thing needed replacing i took it to a shop i used to work at to get them to do the work for me. I picked up my car today, and WOW!...such a big difference in handeling and even just feel of the steering wheel. Big Big improvement from my old shot bushings. Im gonna see if i can get some pictures and ill get the part # too when i go back out to the car. Im probably gonna b doing this on my ST coupe when Sarah picks it up next week.

Interesting, I guess it shouldnt do anything to the ride quality? Planning to improve handling on my car without sacrifing ride quality as much as lowering springs do.

yea..if any thing they improved the ride quality...it was that or the new cv shaft..lol. It was a good little mod for $30.

i did the rears on my coupe... i dont know if it was bad quality parts or what... but they were shot after about 2 months of driving and the bar was hitting metal and making a nasty clunk noise... fronts on the coupe though.... i deff recommend it! the rear just needs a sway bar imo, lookin for some springs to help it out a bit more in the corners... but i drive mine daily so i dont want it too rough

rough is not that bad

I have poly bushings all around + ST sway bars + TRD springs + J-speed rear strut bar + some front strut bar ( no brand ) and my car is really stiff but I love it, is not as bad once you get used to it
