It was insane for Ford to stop putting them on the V6's to begin with the damn cheap ass bastards!!! There is only gain in putting one on. There are no negatives. The second you take a corner with one on you will understand. The back in does not lift as much or want to come around in tight corners

haha thnx. that was the first helpful info in the replies 
ya i stopped by our guy today at ford/lincoln/mercury and he hooked me up w/ a stock GT swaybar and the nuts/washer mount thingies for rite at $100. will be in tomorrow.
the GT bar is supposed to be better than cobra because of the shape between the transition at the corners from round to square. less likely to break at that point apparently.

I have a Cobra rear sway bar but I also have a Cobra front sway bar. I dont see it breaking HAHHAHAHAHHA. But a GT sway bar is more than enough!!!

The Cobra Sway Bar Which Is Prone To Breaking Is The 98 I Believe |

Actually it is the 96-97 and it broke right at the bolt hole. I have a friend with a 96 at work that it happened to. But it is not that common and there was a problem with a certain lot of the swaybars

I need to put mine on...and yes, my car has a bad tendency of wanting to drift around when I'm pushing it, hoping maybe the rear swaybar will fix that.

But you cant use a 99+ Cobra sway bar on a GT or V6 unless you put an IRS rearend in the car

I put my sway bar in and DAMN, my rear it SOOOOO tight now. before it felt so loose. In fact is was so loose I could squel my tires. But now I have the new control arms, the 8.8 w/3.73s and the rear sway bar. That thing ain't moving at all!!!

it really helps balance out the car, corners flatter, and does help reduce understeer |

It does help with the understeer, and it does corner flatter, and more predictable. If I could find the time to put these springs on, I'd probably notice a difference with those too, huh? |

I had less oversteer with mine... not a massive difference though. They are cheap so get one... (used junk yard 99+ gt one)

I'm thinking of pulling mine off. I have too much oversteer. It get's squirelly in curves.
Of course I don't have a stock rear suspension, or front. Maybe I'll just up the front bar instead.
