are the super coupe bars worth the trouble? how much should i pay? I've got lowered coils and 245-50-zr16 tires and cobra r rear shocks. any thoughts?
 
It's worth it in the rear, especially if you can pull it off an old SC.
The front is an awful lot of work.
 
I have a rear sc bar. I couldn't notice a diff because when i bought my 8 my stock bar was allready rusted out and snapped in half.

Iirc i paid 5-60 shipped.
 
thanks I'm going to start looking for one locally. i just wonder if a front bar wouldn't be a good idea like in the overall performance but it probably is easier doing just the rear
 
The rear is a breeze, just lube em up before you do it. The front i wouldnt even think about. WAY to much work!!
 
I can't remember, but didn't the Thunderbird "sport" model have a larger swaybar too?

However, I thoroughly suggest the rear, I did notice a reduction in the understeer following the swap.
 
I just did my front and rear sway bar last month. I was redoing all the front suspension so i figured why not upgrade the swaybars. I replaced them with 89 sc swaybars and it is a noticible dfference. Lot less body roll and the whole car stays "planted" much better now. U have to drop the k member to get the front swaybar to go in though. Overall for the 70 bucks for front and rear bar i found it made a great cheap investment/upgrade.
 
ok so on another side track, where would you buy brand new sway bars from and which ones for the most sporty ride
 
The 727 is 1 3/8", the 726 is 1 1/4" - those are both for the front...

I got a 727 front and 666 rear (also 1 3/8",) the cheapest place I found was neverenoughauto.com at $330 for both shipped as of about a month ago.
 
The 727s and 666s are stiff as hell. Ive got them front and back. Corners so good that I don't care. Get the addcos!

Would 726 on both front and rear make the car ride to stiff?

Probably, because the 726 is for the FRONT of the car.

They actually had them listed on eBay, so I emailed them for a quote without the eBay fees. They came back with $330 shipped for both, which is the cheapest I found by a wide margin. I tried Summit, SpinningWheels SC, Shox.com, and a couple others.
