im just wondering if any of yall have addressed the maverick's naturally poor handling situation?
im probably gonna park my maverick over the winter, make lots of improvements, and go to it as a daily driver by spring.
as you know... a V8 maverick has a terrible understeer problem. and though i hate the power steering... its probably there to stay, and helps somewhat.
what im considering doing is buy an addco swaybar, with urethene bushings. has anyone tried this, and what were your results? happy?
i also will probably replace all 4 shocks. i guess i'll opt for air shocks on back, although i have no desire to raise the car, and get a good pair of gas shocks up front. the maverick is a budget car, and i wonder if there would be any appreciable difference between autozone gas shocks and KYB or Koni?
im sure there is... but for the money, would it be worth it?

finally...
does anyone know of the availability of a monte carlo bar, or export brace for a maverick?
a friend of mine installed one on his falcon, and he said it did a whole lot to firm up the ride, and reduce body roll.
all answers and suggestions are appreciated.
it would also be nice if you could provide me with the names of vendors that stock the necessary parts.

thanks
