Default stiffer anti roll bars

Looking for stiffer arb's. I've got 22mm front and 12mm rear. I've found a 26 mm front, but want an 18mm rear. Any idea where I might get one?

I'm trying to sort out the handling on a recently aquired 4x4 (2.9, '89)

Having fitted some Koni's all round, there's a big improvement, but I still can't believe the roll connection between the steering wheel and the back end. All bushes seem ok. There's more roll on the whole car than I like, but most especially the back end, which has a mind of it's own. Bump steer? This thing handles worse than many a 60's british sports car with a rigid axle and leaf springs!

So next plans are to increase roll stiffness, and use poly's at all roll bar bushes. I don't want it lower, don't want it stiffer......just want it to behave itself!

Help and advice gratefully received,

Al

Any idea where to get one? Ther must be specialist breakers around, but I'm new to Fords.

I am going to piggy back on this one. I have a sierra that did not come with rear roll bar.... is there a place or a way to get one on there?

I upgraded the front from a later year 2.0 8v DOHC which helped a good deal. but it still needs one in the rear. I rhave been wanting to cut off the rollbar tabs from a scorpio or another sierra but no luck with em yet.
