Larger sway bars

[Dadillac]

So I am wanting to better control the body roll on my 2018 Ecoboost without stiffening the suspension with heavier springs. My previous car was a 2019 Toyota 86 TRD SE. That car cornered flat like a go kart. I kind of miss that. But I absolutely do not miss the harsh ride. The Mustang handles well but I would like less roll. Anyone who has a base suspension car (EB or GT) have you swapped the sway bars only? What effect did it have? Thanks

i swapped the pp bars in for the base first.then went back and added pp springs they really need towork as a package.
t
he pp bars did help the ride but was not flat enough for me

This might help you out. Bear in mind that I already had the PP bars fitted before the swap.

I'm thinking that outright harshness comes more from shocks and struts than from springs or bars. And Japanese preferences in shock/strut tuning tend to be on the harsh side.

I wouldn't count on bars alone being able to take much more than about 1/3 of however much roll you're experiencing now.

Give serious thought to upgrading the shocks and struts at such time as you do swap the bars.

I suspect that for a couple of reasons, this thing about "body roll" is as much about human perception as car mechanical. Maybe more on the human side.
