my car could deffinitly use a sway bar upgrade. I already replaced the bushings and what not.. it really needs a nice bigger and stiffer sway bar in there... any ideas?

Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though. -
Do you have the aspire rear? It definatly makes a big difference.
I would keep away from putting a bigger swaybar in the front because it will increase the tendancy to understeer.OX SMASH!! -
The Aspire sway bar really does make a huge difference. The actual sway bar itself isn't very big, but it doesn't matter considering how little weight it back there.* Retired Festiva-er*

What they said. Rear bar will help control body lean without "over-rollstiffening" the front end.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT A B6T AND STILL DON'T HAVE THE ASPIRE BRAKE CONVERSION!!

I'm going to make one just like Reb's http://fordfestiva.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6099
I have the Aspire rear and it still has too much movement for AutoX to me... And I quote from GRM, "Flatter is faster" :wink: so I plan on having both the Aspire beam w/the tiny bar and then Reb's design connecting the strut bottoms.. -KyleCosmic Blue 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 - Mostly Stock...
