I have bf Tornado (stock standard) and wondering if spending money on sway bars will improve the handelling. Also would I need to upgrade my spring and coils to gain the benefit of the sway bar.TA in advance Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36277-sway-bar-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the whiteline 27mm adjustable and it works well.But if you are serious about handling then save your money and as mentioned above buy a decent set of shocks instead.

Changes the whole handling characteristics of the sedan, including tyre wear, braking, steering and balance. Go for it.

It'll be my first mod (of many hopefully, $'s permitting) and just after some advice on my choices and the best combo of front/rear to improve handeling. I dont really want to lower it as it will make gutters and driveways a pain but any improvements to handeling will be great.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36277-sway-bar-question/#findComment-1132352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the control arm bushes and rear diff bushes to something like Super Pro polyurethae will make a massive difference to your handling and response too Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36277-sway-bar-question/#findComment-1132354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
