1) I have an AWD '10 Fusion SPort , and have the steeda front strut bar on it, i was wondering if there was any better ones out there?

 

2) I was wondering if this would do anything

3) What H brace would fit my fusion? and would it work?

 

4) what else could I get for chassis/suspension stiffening? I dont like the body roll around corners very much.

 

5) Would the steeda engine mount do anything?

 

6) I am also getting this for the rear sway bar to help, WOuld I need new end links for this or anything else?

I just scooped up my 2012 Fusion SEL and noticed the same thing. Lots of body roll. My stock Durango takes corners better than this car.. which is quite sad. But then again two different breeds of vehicles. I think the HD package on my Durango adds the some of the R/T package components hence why mine handles so well.

 

But as I've noticed with AWD (Durango) just give it more gas when corner and let the tires do the pulling you in lol!

i just added the rear sway bar and its amazing! the car handles so much better, turning and even accelerating gained improvement. the whit line RSB is much heavier and beefier than the stock , i could have done curls with it just for a work out!

How does a rear anti-sway bar improve acceleration?

sorry should have explained, When accelerating i felt the car move much more fluid, before i did feel a lag from the back dragging a little cause of how big the car is, also around corners there is no body roll! i only have it on the 1st of 2 stiffness settings, next week i will adjust to the stiffer setting and see how it goes

This is tempting! Let me know how goes the stiffer setting. Also, do you know how much it actually weighs? Would like to get an idea how it affects mpg and straight line acceleration.

No problem ill let you know how much stiffer it is, not sure about the weight, i got it form cd3performance.com but it is significantly heavier, havent seen it effect the mpg but even if it did its very minor and VERY worth it, even in the rain it is handling so much nicer, but i also got new conti DWS tires so those also help! I am also getting my chrome and wheels plasti dipped as well as getting it stiffened so ill post back when i know
