Default Swarr bar yes or no?

Okay, I've already done my exhaust and next up is CAI/tuner then maybe underdrive pulleys then when I get my income tax return in '10 I plan to put an 8.8" rear diff 31 spline 3.73 FRPP assembly

Also I plan to supercharge (and take off the underdrive system[if I even get it] of course) in a few years (like in 2013 lol)

I drive pretty crazy as it is right now with my almost stock 6'er, skidding around corners and burning out at red lights just for thrills and I'm starting to worry about my rear axel taking all this abuse with just stock support

from my basic understanding the swarr bar connects to the car frame or something and the rear diff so that the stuff back there doesn't break when I do stupid things like rip around corners.. right?

pros? cons? (if there are any cons)

No, a sway bar connects both lower control arms together to make the car not roll hard when cornering.

Here this will explain it: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question432.htm

"prevents rear from flexing"
"eliminates wheel hop"
"quicker reaction time"

wish I had googled for that earlier.. ha

I'm not really worried about anti-roll right now, but this anti-flex thing is started to sounded better n better..

anyone on here have it installed?

I wouldn't waste my money on it. From my understanding of it, it's intended purpose is the keep the axle itself from flexing, which is stupid. I'm not as familiar with the '05+ suspension but I beleive your car already has a panhard bar, or atleast the GTs do. I would look into some Lower control arms and either adding or improving the Panhard bar. Those two things are the major players in keeping the axle from shifting under the car. If the bushings are rubber, try to find some polyurethane bushings also. Also, don't drive like a dumbass on the streets, find an SCCA or NASA event to go crazy at.

The Swarr bar is a joke. If you want to keep the axles from rotating, go get the axle tubes welded to the center section.
