Stabilizer bar

If one were to weld in a stabilizer bar of some sort in order to improve handling and limit rolling in turns, what two points would you connect it to?

Thinking of starting a nice project on this when my exhaust project is over...

Double wish-bone suspension! Why would you need a stabilizer bar? Get a stiff suspension and you'll get improved handling!

Well, every car 'bends' when turning, increasing roll. Its why theres a jillion strut bars available for civics and other common cars... We have none for x-types.

I figure a well-placed stabilizer bar could hold the car's shape more firmly in turns.

But, since you mentioned it, what suspension is available for our cars? I don't want to drop it... I'd be willing to do stock height aftermarket suspension though...

RE: Stabilizer bar

I don't know if welding anything to keep the suspension tight Is a good idea....there are companies out there that build braces that you can bolt on to keep the frame/suspension from twisting and bending during hard accelaration and turning...

But welding is way off....big mistake
