Default Sways

Whats up guys. I have been thinking about picking up some sway bars for the 350 and wanted some feedback. For those that have adjustable sways, what settings do u have it on and why? Also is getting adjustable compared to non-adjustable a big difference because there seems to be quite a price difference. Also are aftermarket endlinks a must or just a side item? Any input would be appreciated

Worth it, yes, one of the most noticable changes you can do to the car.

Adjustable, yes,

Settings, close to full soft. Still much stiffer than stock, the stiffer the bar the more traction you take away from the tire. Some people think full stiff makes the car handle better. Ignorance is bliss.

End links, not needed unless you want to run the stiff settings. I track my car hard and have 80k miles (120k total) on my endlinks with aftermarket sways.

I would get sway bars that come with new bushings too......unless yours are fine..

Endlinks also will let you fine tune while at a shop doing a corner balance....with out endlinks they can only adjust at fully adjustable coilovers, and that means sacrificing somewhere...

endlinks that are adjustable can do this....

if your not at that level, then dont bother..

Keep in mind that anti-roll bars should not be preloaded in any way. They should be disconnected when corner balancing or performing any alignment adjustment that affects ride height. Re-attaching the anti-roll bars is the last thing done after an alignment is completed The car should be sitting on the ground with the driver in the seat and the end links should be adjusted so there's no pre-load on the bar.
