Thoughts on these sway bars?

[Macman45]

First off, they seem rather cheaply priced in comparison with the other brands. Any good?

Seems to have all the hardware, looks like rubber bushings compared to polyurethane, not sure why. Also has end links also powder coated blue.

anyone with experience with these?

That's not as sway bar...

This is a sway bar.




And these are proper endlinks.




I don't take much stock in Granatellli stuff.

Granatelli is garbage.

You want good sway bars? Go to BMR.

And 07 Boss, that's not a sway bar; that's an anti-roll bar. There's a difference. The bar you have is to prevent chassis twist on a hard launch. A sway bar is for cornering performance.

Kind of the same thing, really.

Both operate on principles surrounding chassis roll. Just that the sources of roll are different (lateral g's vs engine torque reaction) and the intentions differ (balancing handling vs re-planting the "unloaded" RR tire during acceleration).

But I suppose it's a good thing that the dragstrip crowd calls it something a little different - those bars are generally a lot stiffer than you'd ever want for cornering purposes.

Not a fan of Granatelli stuff either, not for chassis components. No basis for opinion on anything else he sells, not much interest in it.

Same same. Stabilizer bar, roll bar, anti-roll bar, sway bar, anti-sway bar, they all do the same thing and the there really is no difference. All depends on where you come from and what terminology you use. They work the same to achieve the same goal. Depending on what style of driving you do is going to determine how stiff you want to go.
