  1. Done abit more research and it seems the 19mm rear ARB has no problems but the 21mm snaps the brackets off after a while as they weaken, meaning the rear subframe needs reinforcing to prevent this

     

     

    "snaps the brackets"... nuff said

     

     

    There has been a few cases of them weakening, but as with everything, you uprate and box the brackets. Another little bit of modifying in the grand scheme of things shouldn't be anything to worry about. Very easy to box the brackets and then you have a 21mm rear sway bar.

  2. Taken from the Bat website on the 21mm rear sway bar

     

    We recommend increasing the diameter of the rear bar only for better "balance". For this

    we offer a 19mm bar upgrade for standard cars (normally equipped with 16mm), and a 21mm for SE/SVT

    cars (normally equipped with 18mm). We do not recommend increasing the front bar diameter on front

    wheel drive cars such as the Contour. Installing a larger front bar would increase understeer which would

    not be desirable. The 19mm bars are European Ford imports, 21mm bars are a BAT produced item.

  3. Nice one. Shall just replace the shabby old ones with some new Ford ones and spend the money saved elsewhere.

     

    If I was to polybush the front lower arms, front anti roll bar, fit front performance shocks and camber kit and come for a geo and then later down the line when funds allow, fit uprated rear anti roll bar and rear performance shocks, would I have to go for another geo check?

    Evenin all. Planning on fully poly bushing my Mondeo up, along with replacing the standard shocks for some aftermarket ones and have a camber kit to go on when I do shocks too.

    Stumbled across the link above, a lot of money for what they are, but if it helps, great. I'm a little sceptical though. Also, if they were adjusted too much and you went over a pothole, would they shear?
