Sway bar

I'm going to admit right now I have very little car knowledge. That being said, does anyone know if it's possile to put a front sway bar on a 2000 Stratus? I'm just looking to make the car a little more stable while I'm cornering. If so about how much should that cost?

Re: Sway bar

All stratus' come from the factory with a front sway bar. Also, we need to know if you have a 2-door (mitsubishi chassis) or 4-door (DC Chassis) or convertible (DC Chassis).
There are different ways to approach sway bar upgrades. First (my opinion, cheapest) , if you don't have a rear sway bar, add the smallest one you find (different manufacturers sell different sizes). If you want to spend more, add a matched set of medium or large diameter front and rear sway bars. Don't just add a large diameter sway bar on the front or back only, you won't be able to drive it around corners hardly at all. If the front bar is too big, it will not want to turn (understeer). If the back is too big, it will want to turn too quickly (oversteer). You do not want a oversteer condition with a FWD car that is driven by anyone that wouldn't know how to drive a car sideways through a corner.

Re: Sway bar

First of all it's a 4 door. Would you know by chance about how much to replace both front and rear with a large diameter? Thanks for the help BTW.

Re: Sway bar

Addco makes a sway bar for the rear that is made to work with the original front bar.

There are some others but I couldn't find them quickly on the internet.
