I know that whiteline is a great bar but I read some reviews that the tanabe is a great bar too. I will be ordering them off of ebay I placed an order with them before but they were having trouble getting the whiteline bar through customs so they refunded me but now they say they have the bar in stock, here's the link Whiteline

but here's the problem I saw a previous post where the whiteline bar was a light blue color but this bar they post is silver and they say it's authentic but still the whiteline bar for $174 shipped not too shabby or the Tanabe bar for around $185 shipped, from experience which bars would you recommend? It's for my04 and agressive driving, especially on turns and off ramps. Can't make up my mind! Thanks.

 

I am leaning towards the Tanabe since it's made out of chromoly. This should make it stiffer than other 30mm steel bars out there. However, I am not able to find stiffness data on it and will wait until I can find this info before buying.

Anyone been able to find this?

I went with the Whiteline bar. I bought it from the ebay seller and will be installing it today. No performance review, although they do have the bar in stock and shipping only took 3-4 days. It's a solid piece, seems to be good quality.

 

tanabe is like 153% stiffer, I have it and noticed a difference,

 

I've had the Whiteline front swaybar since '03. Got it from Muz. It's 30mm versus the stock 26.5mm. Specs indicated it is 50% stiffer than stock. That mean 150% vice the Tannabe's 153%?

Regardless I've continued to be pleased with my choice all these years.

Any confirmation of whether the Tanabe is hollow or not?
