I'm see prices of $150, 350, and 500+ for new sway bars Just wondering, once on the car will there be a difference in feel? I really only want to spend $200.00, want adjustability, and 19mm for road only. Your opinions please. Make some sense out of this for me. Thanks John |

The most economical choice is a 19mm basic Weltmeister kit.
It won't have adjustable drop links but (as long as the car is well aligned) you won't notice the need for them unless you're setting up the car for competition. Differences between products which affect price/quality include: materials (fabricated steel vs cnc machined aluminum), attachment of the arms to the bar(square is the easiest to make but worst for long life/precision, splined is the highest precision/most expensive to mfr), drop link design/attachment, bushing material & mount design, bling anodizing, ease of adjustment, plain drop link bushings vs heim rods, etc. |
