I really wouldnt mind putting a bigger front sway bar on my car, but since im plowing from understeer around town, im not really worrying about it..
BUT I am not rather liking the 350 or 500 I'd have to spend to get a good bar on my car. I currently have a stock bar up front, and 22mm T bars (ya, thats my kicker up front...) I was thinking that one of these coleman bars would work.. (IMG:http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/images/pn658.jpg) They have the bar thickness from 3/4in to 1 1/2 in... Bar is 37.5 in long... Could it work? I know there will be fabrication involved (im cool with that.. only means more fun..) http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog/index...&sort=2a&page=1 Also, they have Just the bars at different lengths. But only at 1 1/4 thickness. Lengths from 32" to 43" and .125, .188, and .25 wall (whatever that means) Bars by themselves for 110 bucks. Any thoughts?? |

This style of bar is really common on race cars. You can get many different end sizes as well as hollow and solid bars. They offer many different styles of arms. Get the aluminum, the steel stuff weighs a ton. It is something like .750 thick steel bar stock.
I scored a 3/4 bar off ebay for 4 dollars and the arms were 25$. Watch the Nascar auctions on ebay during the off season for great deals. I don't remember the length on mine but it uses the bigger splined ends so it could go up to at least 1 1/8 in diameter before it would start getting bigger than the splines. www.1speedway.com list all the specs on their stuff as well as listing torsional rating charts. I think you need to go with the 42" length that they offer. I'll have to look at my bar. it you want I'll see if it will work on your application and give you a really good deal. |
