I just might try it without ....I never drove a stang without the swaybar..
Time i try it for myself...running out of weight saving idea's

Beefcake is correct. The Steeda allows the sway bar to be used.

FWIW, my sway bar and heavy OEM rad support have been off the car since early Spring time. Probably 5000 miles or so.

The car is "ass happy". You don't want to be throwing it into a corner with a lot of speed. You can play around a bit easier. You can get some nice throttle off over-steer in sharp curves.

But, nail the gas and the front struts stretch out to the stops...

I bought the UPR support. It was scratched and one of the mounting plates was bent. I called them about it and emailed some pics. They had talked about doing a partial refund or some credit, but I never heard back. I just banged the plate flat and rattle canned it.

i haven't ran a sway bar in about 12 years , lol

I've been running the steeda support without the swaybar for about 1k miles and the car seems fine to me for daily driving. The steeda does have provisions for using the swaybar if you choose. I never go into corners hot though, no sense doing that with an auto trans car, and not worth it on public streets, so I haven't missed it yet.

No sway bar here and on the stock tires driving around town is just fine. You will notice a little difference in cornering but not much.

I am running this piece:

All bracing and suspension parts I use are CHE. Fit and finish are great and their parts work.

I read in this months mustang magazine that they installed a BMR with radiator support. Maybe they are gonna release one.. :/

No swaybar and no difference for me!

I think they installed a manual rack with that, so it would have been the '05-'10 k-member. The '11+ k-member is still vaporware at this point...

I am running UPR also. Havent had it on for about 2000 miles. No issue here. Mine was perfect when I received mine.

K-member has nothing to do with rad support.

Anyways, there is 1 - 11+ k-member, but it just got back a couple weeks ago from their trial period. However, when it's released... who knows!

how much for the UPR, I couldn't find it on their site? also anyone know the weight of the UPR's? Steeda says theirs weighs 16 pounds(9 pounds savings). stock is 25.

there is no chance the upr weights that much, i didn't weigh mine, bought it at the track, but it was pretty light

price for the UPR?

I guess I misunderstood your post.

BMR already has a rad support on the market. I thought you were talking about the k-member.

price for the UPR?

$79.99

 

[fdjizm]

The UPR piece is like 4lbs lol.
$80

I run the steeda with a front bar works perfectly.

I run the Steeda bar (with sway bar mounts) and I really like it. Here is the difference:
