[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 14130855, member: 130159"] to help clarify - rear bars v6 22mm gt 24mm svt base 23mm svt perf. pack 25mm boss 25mm laguna 26mm with OEM quality you are not upgrading your rear bars, just changing the rate and helping gain clearance for big tires, that's why BMR's rear bar is cool. 1. too much rear stiffness may smoke your diff pretty quick in an S197. example, you cant get a 26mm bar w/o a torsen diff from the factory, it will be toasted on track. 25mm ok, 26.. no. 2. roll couple = difference between front and rear roll rates. more rear rate is usually a road course thing to gain steering and help the car stop understeering. too much rear bar and the car wont feel right, it will just translate around a corner. 3. square setup is needed on a mustang for road work, I don't agree w the staggered 285 / 255 setup on the boss.. I like it square and still keep the boss rear bars. 4. boss front and gt front bars are the same, same with the cobra... they are all stiff and I think ford just tunes the coil rates and shocks to get the roll couple they want. 5. put a v6 bar on a GT - it turns into a snow plow since the roll rate is so low in back its an understeer monster. add to that wide rear tires and the car becomes very annoying to drive around corners fast. 6. pitch of the car also affects roll couple and roll rate, boss leans forward for the effect of a larger rear bar still, but w/o the complications. imo. 7. since we all use aftermarket coil springs, and we lower the car differently, rear bars should be upgraded only if you want something to tune with (3 hole bar) or need big tire clearance. follow the vorshlag saga and you'll see.
