Questions & Answers (11)

5 Top Rated Questions

Where to start with settings? Moving from the stock sway bars to the Ford Racing sway bars, where should I start as far as settings? Use will be daily driving as well as track (High Performance Driver's Ed).

In my opinion, if you don't already have any significant understeer or oversteer, then I would start in the middle setting for the front anti-sway bar. This is the most balanced, and will allow you to see if you need to adjust further either way. I set mine on the middle setting, and I have found no need to adjust it further. I say, set it on the middle notch, and drive it. Since you use it on a track, I would say to test it there. If you get more push or oversteer, then adjust it to compensate. Whatever setting you find that works on the track, should also work for daily driving.
I just installed this kit and I selected the first port setting and the ride is much better than the stock sway bar. The center port was labeled in the documentation as the street setting but I like the first setting even better. The last setting is for the race track. It is an excellent product and I am glad I bought it.

I have a 2005 GT. My rear sway bar is 22mm. So is the Ford Performance rear sway bar. Couldn't I just be new poly bushing and links to achieve the same result in the rear?

While they are the same diameter, the Ford Performance rear sway bar is made stiffer than the OEM sway bar.

I have a 2010 GT500. Would this setup fit and would it be an improvement over the factory bar?

Unfortunately these Ford Performance Front & Rear Sway Bars would not fit any of the Shelby GT500's. We do however offer a specific set designed for your 2010 GT500 if it is the coupe. The Ford Performance Front & Rear Sway Bars, item # 101545, https://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-swaybar-kit-0712gt500-coupe.htmlare what you would need and they would be a nice upgrade over the stock sway bars!

Will this fit on a 2009 GT with stock dampers and springs? Or does the car need to be lowered? 1 answer

This Ford Performance Sway Bar Kit will absolutely work wit the stock shock, struts and springs. We would recommend the installation of this kit with upgraded shocks, struts and springs to get the full advantage of the sway bars.

Why does this not fit the v6 1 answer

The Ford Performance Sway Bar Kit - Coupe (05-14 GT) will not fit a V6 do the style of the sway bar. If you compare the rear sway bar from this kit to one in a kit that fits a V6, they are bent differently. I suggest going with the BMR Sway Bar Kit - Front Adjustable - Red (05-10 All), item # 390621, (http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-swaybar-kit-red-0510.html). The front and rear sway bars have the same size tubing as the Ford Performance. Also, the front is adjustable so that you can get the perfect handling.

Helpful (0)

Are both bars on this kit solid or is it a mix of tubular and solid? 1 answer

Both sway bars in the Ford Performance Sway Bar Kit - Coupe (05-14 GT) will be of a solid steel construction as mentioned in the Features & Details portion of the page.

Why is the rear sway bar in the kit a lower diameter (22 mm) than the stock GT (24 mm)? 1 answer

The rear sway bar on a 2011-2014 GT is a 22 mm bar, not 24 mm.

Well worth the money

These were a good fit and well worth the money. The front bar was a little difficult to squeeze in to place, but it fit eventually. The adjustability is nice for autocross and trying to eliminate my cars under-steer tendencies on hairpin corners.

Own the road

Great product. Very well built and very strong. The install was a little more than I was hoping for. Really it was uninstalling the old equipment was the most difficult part. I did my swap in my garage with jack stands. A lift or pit would have been better along with another set of hands. The hardware is top notch and most is easy to install. The hardest part was the rear bar bracket on the drivers side top bolt. There is little bery little room to get a wrench on it. Once I did I was able to tighten down and good to go. The driving experience has totally been transformed by these bars. It handles completely balanced now. You turn in and car wants to rotate about it’s center of gravity. It truly wakes up the handling of the S197. You won’t be disappointed. Worthy of note; this is the Eibach swaybars rebranded as Ford. So save yourself some cash and pick these up. The only reason one star was taken off is the billet machined arms were put in the bag with all the bolts and other hardware so it scratched them up pretty bad.

Fred's Review

The installation went well and took about 90 minutes to do front and rear sway-bars. My son installed the bars himself after hours as he work for a Ford Dealership in main shop as a tech. The 2013 Mustang is his and the GT handles much better withboth bars. Great products...

Sway bars

Both sway bars (front/back) along with the strut tower brace I recently purchased have really reeled it in on sharp corners and turns. Can’t wait to lower it with a coil over kit. This is the cheapest mod that you can do for the suspension with the biggest return.

Why Ford?

I got the rear sway bar on with the stock hardware and it great improved handling! But I never received any bushings or hardware just a couple bolts and leaking packages of grease. I found out I was unable to install the front sway bar after removing the stock one. I'm waiting on Ford to send me what I need to install everything. Really sucks because I believe this would really improve my overall handling!

Easy installation with jack/jack stands. Working well with koni str.t and stock springs. Nice balance for the street. Next step Ford Performance dampers and P springs.

What a difference!

I purchased this product as a replacement for my OEM and couldn't be happier. They track perfectly and helped eliminate the body roll inherent in this body style on and off the track. The installation was very straightforward and easy to do. They look great too in the Ford blue.

nice setup

Handling is much improved over stock...not only did it stiffen up the suspension it stiffened the steering as well...only co,n the poly bushing are a little noisy until they get wet then they make enough noise to be heard over my exhaust...I'm going to re-grease them and see if it helps any.

Great product. Perfect fit. All new hardware. Not sure of handling. Have not hit the curves yet but feels more stable in the few I have been on. Wish I had got the Ford handling pack. Would have saved money.

FRPP Sway Bar Kit

Bars felt more heavy duty right out of the box. Install went easily with all parts included. Front bar is easy to adjust. Car feels better thru corners, less body roll. Good purchase, always like Ford Performance parts especially when paired with other FRPP parts. Would recommend.

FRPP front and rear sway bar kit

Can't beat Ford Racing parts! Fit was perfect. The grease fittings on the urethane bushing caps come with covers, too (ain't that a nice touch?). The instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. On the street, body roll is much reduced but the ride is not noticeably any more firm or harsh. I am very pleased with this addition. It took me 2 to 3 hours to install but I was not rushing. Last thoughts: great price and speedy delivery from AM, as usual. Chris

Ford performance bars

Easy to install , 1 hour for the back bar , 1 1/2 hours on front on ground with Jack stands . Need to remove plate to get the bar out on the front . Grease zirks for living bushings. I have stock springs , Koni yellow adjustable shocks/struts , and now these bars . I'm very satisfied with the handling on my 14 GT/CS now . I still want to tweek settings a bit but front bar is set in middle hole, front struts are set 2 turns from soft so front barely moves , rear shocks are pretty soft 0.75 from soft so I can get off the line W/O burning the tires off (the rear is a little loose but FR rear bar keeps the body roll in check) . I'm very happy with this setup as its vastly improved the handling . I also have strut brace under hood . Corners are handled flawlessly now . Highly recommend piece for your suspension upgrades.
