Was fairly original when I got it a few years ago. Original front springs were mush and put Bilsteins and new springs on it right after I bought it. That made a nice difference.

Ordered the OE style heavy export brace and had it planned for this weekend. Last weekend stumbled on a 15/16" sway bar for $25, with all monting hardware. So put both on today. A really easy job as the export brace needed very minor convincing on one bolt at the cowl, and the sway bar was dead simple. Nice to have a job that went faster than expected (for once!)

Took it out for a spin. Wow. What a difference. Steering is way more reponsive and stays almost flat in the corners (street driving so no smoking or screeching tires).

A great $100 upgrade... and totally reversible as I kept the OEM tower braces and mini sway bar...

When I pull the engine for a reco later this year or early next will do the Shelby drop. Can't wait to see what that does as if it as noticeable as this upgrade the car will be real fun to drive...
