Does the Stealth Performance Package include upgraded sway bars?

Does anyone know the Stealth Performance Package include upgraded sway bars?

I’m curious as well. There is a lot of unknown it seems regarding the suspension on these.

Parts.ford.com says they are the same for front and rear as standard versions.
Front is 5482 and rear is 5A772
they do call out two applications, one as standard and one as sport tuned suspension, but the part number is the same for both.

That is why I asked.

After I get my expy I'll drive it a while and see if I want to upgrade, but I suspect I will.

I need to consider WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) .

Is there a noticeable increase in roughness of ride?

I am wondering if I need to upgrade before her ass is calibrated to the OEM ride quality.

I personally did not notice any difference in ride quality. (Nor did my wife when she rides in it)

Will replacing the factory sway bar void your warranty?

Will replacing the factory sway bar void your warranty?

I was told from my dealer that it will not.

By law (Magnuson Moss Act) the only way it can legally impact your warranty is if the problem you want fixed can be traced to the aftermarket part.

For example if you add a blower and then the engine fails you're out of luck.

I have the Hellwig's on my 17. No change in ride quality, the suspension is not stiffer, but the cornering is greatly improved. Next to the SCT X4 tuner, it was one of the best upgrades on my Expy.
