Looking for possible suspension upgrades. Seems like PP Sway bar may be an option. Any aftermarket parts out there?
2012 SHO Sterling Gray. Temporarily stock, stay tuned.

I believe the PP sway bar is actually smaller in diameter than the non-PP due to other suspension upgrades. But, I've been wrong before. ...I think.

I too would be interested in suspension upgrades such as: sway bars, tower brace, sub frame connectors, and of course adjustable coil overs.

There's nothing available.

Been down this road before.

Hitting up a vendor, to (possibly) see if they'll even consider fab'n an expensive custom made setup for you.....or you're wasting your time even bothering to search.

Don't they already have a front tower brace?

I would get a nice set of wider tires,personally went with 255-45-20 and noticed that the car handled better and felt more responsive at the wheel and of course a better ride than a MKS if there is no alternative.  Z

I believe the PI sway bars are stiffer than the other SHO's.... Larger tires are a consideration, but sway will increase with increased lateral g force... There will also be some effect on straight line acceleration due to some increase in rolling mass and about 1cm greater diameter ... Whether you'll notice it is another question.

They aren't.

I used the VIN #'s off of/from my agency's PI Taurus' & learned that.

As I stated previously, there's nothing out there.

You have the Megan Coil Overs for the '10-'12 models, or the H&R Springs for all model years '10 & up....

I found the adjustable end links, & worked directly with H&R to achieve the alignment solutions incorporating the adjustable rear camber bolts, but again, there's literally nothing else available out there as of now.

Thanks for the info Mike... Did you check any other axle/suspension components? ... Seems that if you really beefed up the sway bar it would increase stress on the outside radius side of the suspension and drivetrain, especially the front.
