Front Sway Bars Options

[wndsnd]

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

I have not received the bar or supports yet, but I decided to get started.

I found the template for the brackets on the Bird Tech Site.

I had to scale this as it did not print to scale originally.

To prep the inner well, I used a torch and steel wool to get off the undercoat. Then I used a die grinder to clean off the paint so now I have virgin steel to work with.

The factory really made this easy by embossing the area.



I also prepped the fuel tank area. Again, the factory stampings made this easy.



I am going to hold off drilling any holes till the brackets, bar, and mounts arrive. I might have to make some adjustments if they all do not perfectly match as they are coming from different sources.

The Bird says go to 1" on the large bar hole. This will allow over a 25 mm bar if wanted at some point so this seems reasonable to me. I started to cut the recess for the inner bracket and then decided to wait.

Parts will arrive tomorrow... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
