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?? |

if you lower your car with the a-arms parallel to the ground and you bring the sway bar adjuster back to the middle of its mounting position, you will have the arms pointing up and there will be a bunch of preload on the the sway bar. What you have to do it cut the threads off the weltmeister endlink and retap some more of the shaft until you can get all of the preload out of the sway bar.
