Did research here on best mods to help handling.I found a rear sway bar from a '97 v6 and used that, I had a hard time finding a bar from a v8 GT and with a track day yesterday I needed something.I also had issues previously with the rear end going way up under braking and unloading the rear tires. I researched here lowered the car 1.5 coils in the rear and .75 coil + removed isos in front. This worked great, the car sits low but not too low now. The handling is transformed, along with new tires, and it is very neutral - amazingly so. I'd prefer a bit more oversteer personally but probably good for the skill of our team drivers which is varied.Thanks for this forum to for the help so far.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />ccasion14:  :headbang:<img src="http://" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Questions:I know a panhard bar is supposed to help the suspension be compliant in turns, but we're going to be on a racetrack, which is pretty smooth. Is that going to be worth the effort for our application? I actually have bought the supplies to make one - rod ends, metal, etc, but the space is cramped with the diff and exhaust. I'd like to run exhaust out side if I go with making a bar, another hassle.I'd like to get a limited slilp rear for slower corners as we get wheel spin with the mighty 3.8 stock v6. Anyone have a clue on how to ID one at a junkyard and what I'd pay for it, how hard it is to swap out? I am pretty good with following directions and doing mechanical work, I understand the idea of getting the gears to mesh correctly and stuff, but maybe best to take to a shop for that one.Here are some pics of the car and project.Cheers,<img src="http://" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
