Got an FRPP rear sway, and...

[ExSRT8Guy]

need a front to complement it. I've read a gazillion threads. Should I get a solid, or hollow? Any specific brand? I'm guessing the FRPP front would be best, but since it's not available separately, I figured I'd ask those in the know.

Well, the FRPP front sway bar is 35mm and hollow. I think this BMR bar will probably be pretty comparable.

My FRPP sway bars came with Eibach instructions. I think the FRPP's are just blue Eibach's, as they appear to be identical other than the color. I'd bet Eibach is making them for other companies too.

Whiteline!

Contact Sam Strano on the forum. Great technical advice based on real world experiences that sells quality performance parts at a fair price.

Lots of good vendors here. Talk to Sam and tell him what your goals are for the car so he can help you set it up right. Mike

Just figured I would add some information to help you come to a conclusion, after/while researching.

The BMR-SB022 Front Sway-Bar is: 441lbs/in - 506lbs/in - 587lbs/in

It is a Hollow 35mm design....with a wall thickness of .219". The lever arms (torsion bars) are 13", 14" and 15" in length.

No, Eibach does not make our sway-bars, nor our coil-springs for that matter.

If price is impacting the decision, our parts are 15% off with free shipping for the next few days.

Good luck! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

BMR Tech, your sway bar comes with a new saddle as well, right?

The number one reason I do not want to buy a whiteline front sway is the absolute BS that they do not come with a new saddle bracket.

 

[BMR Tech]

It does not, that is why it is priced where it is.

It comes with bushings that re-use the stock saddles.

We DO have an option for some really nice upgraded saddles, made from Billet Aluminum and anodized black- and bushings, though.

Part number? I couldn't find it on the website.

Love this forum! It's great to be back in a Mustang after that Mopar detour. Thanks for the input!

You would just have to call and order the saddle/bushings. We don't offer a lot of things on our site, it is mostly just upgrades that we mention occasionally over the phone.

It's really not that big of a deal to pry your saddles apart either. Takes a whole extra five minutes of effort.

 

[Roadracer350]

I didn't have to pry squat. Unbolt and bolt them back up. If your that worried about having to work on your car just have a shop do it. Even tho it does not come with new saddles (don't really need them) it DID come with a 4 point adjustable bar, adjustable end links, bushings and lateral locks. Instillation took all of 30min.

 

[NoTicket]

How exactly did you get the old saddles off and on to the new bar? It is fairly well documented that you have to grind the saddle plate off to get the bushing out.

 

[csamsh]

I just bent the tabs with a flat blade screwdriver

 

[sholzer]

I bent mine with a vice grips. Not hard at all

 

[NoTicket]

That's good to hear.

Can't go wrong, light, adjustable, well built by a professional from right here on this forum.

 

[Sam Strano]

My bar is hollow too, but I use a thicker tube than most. I also include new bushings and brackets (thick steel ones too). And it's 3 way adjustable, all for $179. My rear bar is also adjustable, also hollow, and also comes with all the hardware, it's $189. The set is $359.

^ There is no doubt, that set-up is a great deal for the money Sam.
