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 |

Trekkor is a racing nut who is having fun!!! You have to determine what your car is how your car is going to be used and then put in at least the front sway bar. The stock sway bar (19mm??) is very good for a road car; racing is something else ranging from 21mm to Trekkor's 31mm and may be then some.
Torsion bars and shocks must be considered. Back if you run a sway bar, the stock 16mm is good for the road (depends on who's view and experience); racing may use something else. At least run a front sway bar because it makes the difference "between heaven and hell" in driving, either racing or street. Enjoy finding out what your usage dictates and build one into your car, then have fun. Steve Hurt |
