Hello,
There is a set of stock drop links in the classified section. Would they fit a 19mm sway bar? Or should the 19mm sway bar be purchased as a set? If so: which set is best for street use (value and quality)? Thanks |

I found some sway bar calculators online and did some number crunching.
The sway bar is 38" long overall, but I believe you are to measure the effective length right behind the lever arm, so I used 36" length. For the lever arms, they are 6", the adjustment rate is about 2.5 to 6". Here are the numbers. This would just be for the sway bar rate, not wheel rate. The stock mounting is about 3.5" to the middle of the strut. I think calculating an extra 3.5 inches in lever arm length should give you the wheel rate? Attached image(s) |

The rate being?
Force (lbs) on the lever-arm at opposing side? Seems that DD is correct, that lots of adjustment can be made here. |
