For suspension wise, I have the SVT Dampers paired with the Eibach Pro Springs. I was looking at the Eibach sway bar set that comes with the 22mm Front and 25mm Rear sway bars.

My goals are to have the car grip around the corner and be pretty tight. I dont really know too too much about over/understeer so I was lookin for some advice and/or what setups you guys have ran/running.

Thanks in advance

I have those Eibach sway bars installed on my car , 22mm front and 25mm rear . They make a big diference in handling by not allowing the car to lean so much when cornering . The rear is really easy to install , but the front can get more of a pain . But it's doable with the right tools , knowledge and patience . If you do it at a shop , it's simple , just have the money ready . Just one recommendation : reinforce the rear control arms . They can break at the holes where the end links tie into them when using bigger sway bars .

I had the same on my 07 wagon - 22 front 25 rear - every thing I read said you have to drop the front subframe to re and re the front bar but my mechanic figured out a way to get the job done with the subframe in place.

In combo with good tires and the pro-kit, these two bars transformed the wagon's handling into close to awesome - and not just on the street - on the track too compared to a lot of really decent cars.

I had no trouble with the rear control arms (different on wagon anyway) but I think I read that Ford beefed them up in '03 IIRC ... in any event, when I changed the bars I upgraded the links with aftermarket ones.
