Default RE: suspension upgrade?

Thermo, is there enough space to actually have a swaybar long enough to have the consequences as you describe?

I"m not a nuclear scientist, and actually the math and science part of my brain long since went dormant. Therefore, my plan is to look for a beefier bar and not so much try to change any other characteristic.

I'm a psychologist by training and a manager by trade, so I tend to just poke things and see what happens. LOL....

Chris X, let me crawl under the car and see what I can figure out. I have been happy with how my Jag handles the corners. Sure is a lot better than my lifted Expedition on 37" tires. But, different toys for different times.

Of note, if you plan on going with a larger diameter bar, you should give a little bit of consideration to improving the mounting points (the two points in the center of the bar) as these are known to have issues with the stock sway bar applying too much force. I'm sure the larger bar will only compound that issue. Should be easy to take care of though. A few small pieces of metal welded in to help support the mounting brackets and you will be good.
