i want to upgrade sway bars, what do you guys recommend Options

Well guys it is official to say I am addicted to running the canyons here in southern california and I want better handling for those windy roads so I decided to upgrade my sway bars next the only 2 companies I have seen that make aftermarket sway bars is suspension technique and whiteline, im debating on which to choose any feedback is welcome along with other brands I want to know what the best performing bar would be along with personal experiences thanks guys.

Sweet thanks for the heads up duke I appreciate it im going to see if I can make my own endlinks

199,

Yea, ive seen some interesting posts about d.i.y. sway bar links. If i were you, i would do some checking online about it. I know alot of posts with people using threaded rods, Dont do that method! unless its tempered. I've heard a lot about them bending with to much lateral torsion from corning. So just a heads up. If you do the threaded rod method, take it to a spring shop or a metalurgist that way they can temper it properly, so it can resist bending and possible breaking.

Just remember that when going around corners at high speeds with thicker and stronger sway bars is going to increase the lateral torsion on the links. This is due to the stiffer sway and centered gravity. Just remember that the weakest point on your suspension, will cause it all to fail.

So, i dont know if you wanna here all this, but the stiffer sway bars is going to cause a dramatic decrease in body sway. So when you go into a corner, say a right hand corner, your body is going to natrually pull to the outside, left hand. This because your center of gravity is shifting do the amount of "G"(gravity) pull. So what your sway bars are going to do is to keep the body semi parallel with the road and decrease body sway because of "G" pull. Now The stronger the bars, the greater stiffer the sway. So instead of the cars center of gravity shifting out, due to the g pull, partially due to stock sway bars, the stiffer ones are going to keep the car tight and parallel to the road and corner. They can essentially shift the center to the inside, so the center will be left in the center focal point, or slightly inside. So in end, tight cornering.

But if you want the ultimate handling, stiff coilovers, and great tires. What i just said, is basically covering body sway physics, but to really be able to take corners as fast as driverly possible, you need the full set-up. That way, it will be able to shift the center more fully on the inside, and the weight of the car and turn will go to the inside tires. hence the good tires.

So there ya go 199. hope this was informative!
