Sway Bar ?

I know you guys aren't C5 techs, but maybe you can answer this. Will I have a problem if I only upgrade my front swaybar to a larger diameter one? I have a good offer on a used Z51 front swaybar (which is only a coule mm smaller than a Z06), but it is a decent bit larger than the one on my base C5. Thanks

Re: Sway Bar ?

I would think it should be fine.
You can check out the stickey on here for more information about sway bars, the generals apply to everything, not just Mustangs.

If you go too big, you would probably need to look at increase you spring rates as well.

Re: Sway Bar ?

I would upgrade the rear as well. W/ such a bigger bar your car might be more prone to understeer. Big front sway usually = more understeer.
