Affordable Front Sway Bar Stiffness
 
I've done some searching but can't find any definitive rates. I found a lot of xx% stiffer but stiffer compared to what year S2000 bar (they change every 2-3 model years)?

I'd like the stiffness rate or at least which bar is the stiffest from the following:

Eibach
Whiteline
Cusco adj and non-adj

Or any other affordable bar. Thanks.

Thanks yeah I believe I've seen that. I have a 2000my and if I get an eibach bar it would only be as stiff as my oem rear bar. I'm looking for something a lot stiffer but affordable. Anyone got specs on the other cusco or whiteline?

the whiteline is about halfway between OEM and the saner bar on soft its decently stiffer
I think its 28mm solid steel

Whats your budget?

S2k007 01-27-2012 06:25 PM

I'd say less 200. Whiteline seems like a good one so far. 187 shipped on ebay too. It's actually 30mm but yeah solid nonadjustable.

Get a AP2 rear. I am running a AP2 rear with a Eibach front. It is money!

Did you decide on which bar to get? I'm in the same boat.

pmptx 02-03-2012 11:46 AM

Saner Front
OEM SWAY BAR 295.5 LBS
SOFT SETTING 566.0 LBS
CENTER SETTING 644.0 LBS
STIFF SETTING 739.3 LBS

S2k007 02-03-2012 12:12 PM

Yeah I know what the Saner rates are but its not even available anymore and its not exactly affordable.

Oh, I'm probably going to go with the whiteline bar.
