I just got mine monday same bars too. who did you buy them from?

i hope your rear LCA's are reinforced or you may eventually get a split rear LCA...

 

[death_bomber]

whats an LCA....wait i know, how can they be reinforced?

 

[focusdarko]

i was looking into these bars too until Mike(b16sir1991) steered me away from the rear when he told me i would have to reinforce my subframe.

 

[jetrinka]

Yeah the rear is freaking intense. Its roughly the same size as the bar on my dads full size truck... You will need to re-enforce those lower control arms if you don't want them snapping in two especially with those "soft" springs you have. Even the Ford Racing springs aren't really firm enough for that kinda bar.

Edit: And even then you will be lifting inside tires like a madman in the turns.

Welding a plate on top of the control arm and re-drilling the hole the bushing goes through.

I have two sets of LCA's here at my house. I actually welded 3/8's plate on top of my LCA's that are on my car.

what kind of metal should i use to weld..? does it matter the thickness

 

[jetrinka]

an 1/8" plate of steel should suffice.

 

[FOCUSSTDRIVER]

any clear pics of where the plate should be welded...? honhon?

 

[Insane]

^^ If i can get a good picture ill show you my LCA. I bought it from ford a month ago and it came with a piece of metal welded on top.

 

[FOCUSSTDRIVER]

that would be awsome...

Do all year svtf's have the reinforced lca's in the rear? I thought I read on here somewhere that the early models did not have the reinforced ones.

 

[06Roush]

ok i have an svt so i would be ok with the lca's right? also what springs would u guys recomend if i wanted to go with the same bars? i have agx's on my car now, with stock svt springs, and stock sway bars. wanting to step up to the steeda bar in the back, wahts the best front bar to run with it?

 

[Blackcatn2o]

O an dont for get the front endlinks (get them from mike) b/c if you dont upgrade those you'll brake you OEM ones the first day.
