That said, on my Gen 6 1LE, it's simply so far beyond the Gen 5 that there's no point. You go over a bump with one wheel and it shoots that over to the other side of the car with the sway bar. The 1LE already has more aggressive sway bars and the ride suffers due to this. Asymmetrical bumps (one side of the car goes over it) are transmitted side to side because of it and I find the "tour" setting to be less than stellar because it doesn't change the stiffness of the sways, so the higher damping rates on the more aggressive sport setting can be better at taming bumps sometimes due to taming the wheel movement more. I don't think swaybars would should be on your radar.

I agree with this. I have always been in the stiffer sway bar camp, as I like a crisp/flat initial turn-in, but the downside to this is cross transfer of bumps from side to side.

I will say it does give the 1LE character though when driving it. Even though you get a bit of transfer , it resettles right away and never upsets the chassis.

IMO, the only things needed on the SS 1LE are a track alignment and solid rear cradle bushings. Everything else is perfect as is.

FYI, this is also the reason that if you read the Mustang PP2 VS 1LE review why the PP2 rides a little better over bumps that the 1LE. The PP2 has softer sway bars.
