Default Aftermarket sway bars?

Last question, before I leave for work. I've been looking online the last few days and have found front and rear sway bars for my 93 GT. Eibach and Intrax. I've used Eibach parts before, but I believe Intrax is more for Hondas and stuff? Would either brand be a good upgrade for my car? Also, I haven't checked, but the Foxes don't have a rear sway bar, do they?

before you go to sway bars, get some full length subframe connectors. you will see more of a difference than going with sway bars. some people take out the front for drag racing

what are you trying to fix? If you aren't fixin a specific problem then I'd leave stock alone till you have a reason to replace it. Rear sway bars have a dramatic effect on ride quality and handling. Too much bar and you'll surely wreck on a spin out.

Yes, fox gt's come with a sway bar. the swaybar on my 03gt is actually from a foxbody. Soon I'll replace it with my MM weld in adjustable.

I don't drag my vehicles, or race them for that matter, I just like pure muscle cars. If yall don't think I need to screw with the sway bars, then I will knock it outta the plans?

I'd say leave it. They can add a lot of handling potential but if there's no need to actually be aggressively set up, don't. It's more hassle than it's worth. I flog my car like I'm mad at it... so it's set up for it. If you're into such things, giving it a quick powdercoat in some thematically correct color is a nice touch.
