As mentionned in another thread (question about R springs) I'm considering upgrading to R components to improve handling on the track. I will definitely order the 4 R springs. I'm also considering R sway bars. From what I've been able to gather the front is the same between R and non-R, correct?

For the rear, I've seen different p/n
FR3Z-5A772-G (R?)
FR3Z-5A772-E (non-R?)

When I look at these parts on fordparts.com and other parts site, the E comes up as w/o magnaride and the G w magnaride (or reverse I dont remember...). So could it be that the rear sway bar is the same between R and non r and the only difference is w or w/o magnaride? Confused!! maybe someone with an R model can enter his VIN and it should show up the correct p/n?

there is a difference in the setup and its in the sway bar length.

So the R one is the E or the G? Some have ordered the G, some have ordered the E, but I have not seen a confirmation of the correct one.

The length is not different. I know it says it is but it's not. The diameter of the R bar is .937 or 23.80mm.
Get the 5A772-E bar
And two of the 5493-C bushings

My question are the Eibach bars a step up from the OEM R setup in handling/track times?

I can't answer that yet because it's winter here but the R rear bar is smaller than the Eibach rear bar. I mainly went with the Eibach bars for adjustability. The Eibach bars are also thicker tube.

Is the 5493-C bushings made of rubber or polyurethane ?
