Swaybars For An 08 - Canadian ST - 05-10-2008
Ok so this is probablya long shot but does anyone know if there are any swaybars aavalible for the 08's? I wonder if the previous year swaybars fit on the 08's? Anyways I was looking at just replacing the rear with something like the progress 22mm bar.
Thanmks for your help

My understanding is that the '08 suspension is virtually unchanged from the '05+ ... and it doesn't strike me as logical that they would change the specs on something like the sway bar when the rest of ths suspension is the same.
You might also phone FocusSport - they've already done up an '08 - they'd probably know.

Actually the 06 and up is a new suspension. 2000-2005 is the same. As for swaybars, I believe they are different also.

Ford actually changed the front suspension (tapered springs) part way through the '05 model year ... so technically the early suspension goes from 00 to early 05, and the later suspension goes from late '05 to '07 - and possibly '08 assuming they made no changes.
