ST Vs. Stock Sway bar question
I now have the ST bars and was trying to decide on what setting to put the adjustable rear bar on. Only the rear bar is adjustable. The Front bar is rated at 375lbs (compared to the stock's 300 lbs/inch). The rear can be set at either 430 or 550 lbs/inch. Anyone know the lbs/inch rating of the stock rear bar for either AP1 or AP2? I know the ST bars will give me the greater rear stiffness I want, but I can't find anyone (including Kingmotorsports, Opak Racing and Bulletproof) that knows what the lbs/inch rating is on the stock rear bar.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I searched first and read tons and tons of posts without finding the information. I then called the one of the techs at King Motorsports, Edmund at Opak Racing and Ben at Bulletproof Automotive- none of them had a clue!! Which amazed me as, how can someone enigineer or sell a bar and not know this information?! I know somebody must know the answer...

Wow, you sure are helpful! This is the only adjustable rear bar (unless you count the Tracy that is over $1300). The set was cheap. Further i can purchase an adjustable front bar, like the gendron bar, and have adjustablility front and rear. I asked for assistance as I wanted to have use accurate data in tuning to take out some of the guess work and arrive at the proper front to rear settings more quickly than I will with just guessing. My bad for hoping to hear from someone who would be helpful... instead I get your bs. thanks a lot, you're the coolest jerk I've dealt with recently!!! Now where are those gold stars I give to the "special kids"?
