What is you guy's thougths for an upgrade for a rear sway bar on an SVT?

it all depends on how much over steer you wanna induce in a corner at high speed? the stiffer the rear over the front the more over steer, the softer the rear over the front, more under steer. if you go to stiff in the rear and to soft in thr front the whole car plows in a diagnal under streer with the tail out. the svt rear bar is plenty big if you want more body controll id look at adjustable bar links, it gives a amount of pre load or unload. its like taking what you got and making more use of it with out going too big or too small.

try the opposite, get a smaller bar in the front (spi bar)

Yeah, I got the SVT rear bar on my SPI. Definitely got the oversteer. I wouldn't mess with a smaller front bar tho, too much of a pain in the ass.
Beware tho in the winter, even with my subtle upgrade, I'm always ass out in the snow!

just suggesting it, noticed it was a legal upgrade for the Spec Focus series
