have you seen this rear sway bar before?

    The frame brackets appear to be the same design as a "Stam-Bar" rear sway bar I installed on my Hertz (6S 1380) car back in the early 80's. The end links are different than what I had (although they may have modified the design sometime in the last 27 years).

    THanks for that input Jeff..yea the end parts have a ubolt that bolt around the leaf spring...it looks like an interesting setup..that might work real well..for 50 bucks it does not look like I can go wrong..but I was hoping to see if anyone recognized mayby the manufacture so I can read up on it..just in case its a matter of all looks no performance..How did your set help in the handling..was there a big difference?

    Looking at the "Mustangs Plus" website, it appears that this IS the current version of the Stam-bar sway bar https://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/product.…cat=2268&page=1.


    I have always been a proponent of heavy sway/light springs for street use. I know a number of autocrossers prefer to run without a rear bar, but, for street use, at maybe 7/10ths, I think a rear bar is a good idea. By "light springs", I mean something like stock GT350 springs (as opposed to 620# rate racing springs). The racing springs just jar your teeth on the street. They are fine for track use, but I wouldn't want them on the street.


    Never had a chance to autocross my Hertz car, but, I used to run my '65 Caliente and 6S 1206 (my first GT350) with Addco rear sway bars, and I really liked it. I liked the attachment of the Stam-Bar sway bar even better, and did not notice any deterioration of ride (unlike heavy springs) for street use. I'd go for it.
