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??
