suspension is not something you can tackle like that, you have to address the whole thing. not just front swaybar.

if you were to just update to 1 1/8 inch swaybar you would end up with severe understeer as the front end wouldf be much stiffer than the rear. the fix is then to adda 3/4 inch swaybar to the rear, which reduces the bodyroll and oddly enough stops the understeer and makes for a more cornerwilling car..

but the first, improvement you absolutely categoricly must make is lowereing the upper controllarm wtich involves drilling four holes, and other than the power needed to run the drill is absolutely free!! (this is the exception to the rule that there is no free lunch) Its how shelby made the mustang handle in 65, and it still works today.

send me an email and ill send the the instructions and dimentions.

I had the same problem you are having as far as the car rolling around. Try checking the tie rods, center link, and the idler arm for excessive play. Check the shocks and the springs for wear. Also, check the bushings on the lower control arms. As far as the sway bar question, you'll notice a lot of improvements with a bigger sway bar. Just listen to deuce_454 about the rear sway bar. I used a 1 1/8 front sway bar and a 3/4 rear sway bar on my '68 mustang and it made a lot of difference. You'll definately want to get the car aligned after any suspension part change. Hope this helps.
