I stumbled upon this on the web. Discuss!

 

overkill lol

Looks like something from demolition derby really.

 

They're cobbled-together ways to increase the roll stiffness. Heavier and uglier than finding the right bar for the job.

If whoever needed sta-bars with stiffnesses that are that unusual, I don't understand why didn't they just build just them up from the 3-piece bits that the circle track supply houses sell.

Then again, if those are race cars, it doesn't speak too highly of the rest of the car.

Agreed, they are just low budget hack jobs. They add a lot of weight without comparable performance. Not to mention the ugly factor....

You would be FAR better off by purchasing a larger/stiffer than stock single sway bar setup.

 

Ok, I just thought I'd share because I've never seen that before

 

What follows is a link to my bars for the car. You'll notice all the hardware, and that the front and rear are both 3 way adjustable giving you lots of adjustment, and without the backyard engineering you see above. Your stock bars are 34mm w/4.4mm wall tube front, 20mm solid rear. My bars are 35mm w/6.25mm wall tube in front, 25mm w/4mm wall tubing rear. Both bars get stiffer, but the rear increases more relative to stock bars than the front, which you want because the 2005-2010 cars typically have too little rear roll stiffness and understeer quite badly. I don't want to over bar the rear, that's bad too. And many do using solid 1" bars and front bars that are less stiff being either smaller or having less wall thickness.
