rear sway bar

[patriotu]

Hello, i want to replace rear stock SB with a 22 mm one.
Now i m between two
BMR RED(A.M.)
and
DORMAN(ROCKAUTO)

Last one is a bit chipper but i m looking more for quality..and have no ideea if there is quality difference between two.
Any advices will be great!
Thank you.

Can't go wrong with any BMR prodcuts, any questions ask Kelly or Dylan.

It will stiffen the ride a bit. If that is an upgrade or not is a matter of personal opinion. Most people want to maintain balance with their car so depending on your set up you may want to get a stiffer front bar too. I run BMR's Extreme anti-roll bar on the back, which Is probably one of the stiffest out there, and no front sway bar, but balance and handling are not a priority for me even though it is a daily driver.

Dylan fixed me up with their adjustable bar (3 adjustment holes).

Exactly what are you trying to accomplish here?

Have you done (or planning to do) any other suspension mods?

As others have said, You really need to chat with Dylan and Kelly at BMR about matching the front and rear bars. If you're going to race (AutoX or road course) this will make a HUGE difference in handling.

I have a Saleen front bar and a Steeda adjustable rear bar. Rear bar set to the lowest (least stiff) setting works best for me on AutoX. Any stiffer and it creates oversteer. So if you want to drift set it full stiff.

Why does that dang adjustable rear BMR bar fit on everyone else's Mustang but mine? >_>

Where did you have the fitment problem?

My install got a bit derailed by having to square one of the relocation brackets back up and re-tap the threads on one of the brackets on my rear end housing but otherwise it was pretty straight forward.

The driver-side drop link hits my axle-back exhaust. I've tried several different exhausts, and it hits on every one. :-/

Better stability. I lowered the car ,and put new nito with rims, 255 front tires and 275 rear. Thats what i did so far. I dont plan any moods in next future.
The problem is , here,where i live , the quality of the roads is not very good, so if the SB will make my ride more rigid i have to pass it.

In general, moving to a firmer sta-bar isn't as noticeable in terms of ride quality as moving to stiffer springs. Rear bars on stick-axle cars that aren't specifically intended for drag racing have negligible effect on the amount of roll you get at any given cornering g's and are really just for the final tweaking of your car's understeer/oversteer balance.

You've already swapped springs, and chances are that your new springs are "front-biased" in ride - front spring rate higher than rear spring rate - where Ford's approach for S197 springing has been "rear-biased". IOW, you've added a little understeer. That tells me that a little more rear bar is probably what you need to bring the handling balance back to what it was before the spring swap . . . except that now the chassis won't be moving around on its suspension as much. The amount of additional rate that the BMR bar provides over what I'm guessing is a 20mm rear bar sounds about right here.

If your car did not come with the staggered tire (and wheel?) setup, you've added a little understeer that way as well, which also tends to call for more rear bar.

It'll be upgraded shocks and struts that'll bring composure to that improved performance potential, but you have to be kind of careful here because some makes of struts and shocks ride more harshly than others.

Define "stability."

When was the last time the car got a wheel alignment? Bad roads can do a number on the alignment settings and suspension pivot points.
I would start with the basics and check your ball joints, front & rear control arm bushings (among other bushings) and go from there.
