Now that the Saner bar is pretty much impossible to buy, what other options are there? I know the Gendron bar is good but the price is too high.

Anyone try the whiteline bar? I know its only 30mm compared to the Saner at 31.8mm but maybe it will help?

What about Eibach 32mm (hollow), Cusco 32mm?


Here is a comparison I got from other posts:

OEM SWAY BAR 295.5 LBS (not sure which year this is)

Saner SOFT SETTING 566.0 LBS
Saner CENTER SETTING 644.0 LBS
Saner STIFF SETTING 739.3 LBS

Eibach SOFT SETTING 368 LBS
Eibach STIFF SETTING 416 LBS

Whiteline SOFT SETTING ??
Whiteline STIFF SETTING ??

Cusco non-adjustable 507 LBS? (not verified)

Tanabe non-adjustable ??

Diameter by year:
MY2000 Front 28.2MM T5.0 Rear 27.2MM T5.3
MY2002 Front 26.5MM T4.5 Rear 27.2MM T4.5
MY2004 Front 26.5MM T4.5 Rear 25.4MM T4.5
MY2006 Front 26.5MM T4.5 Rear 25.4MM T4.5
MY2008 Front 27.2mm Rear 25.4mm
CR2008 Front 28.6mm Rear 26.5mm

Saner Front 31.8MM (1.25") Solid, Weight=~30 lbs
Eibach Front 32MM Hollow, Weight=10.6 lbs
Whiteline Front 30MM Solid, Weight=
Tanabe Front 30.4MM Hollow


Please reply with the numbers for the other bars if you got them. If you have any experience with any front sway, let me know!

There is an entire str thread on this.

unison21

I know, I read that thread, but I couldn't find the stiffness ratings for the Whiteline, Cusco, or Tanabe bars. Do you know where I can find that information?

Drill a hole in the eibach, fill it with liquid hot magma! Or maybe some Adamantium but I heard they used the last of to kill Lady Deathstrike in X-men 2

I have tried the cheap swaybar method in the past only to end up with a Gendron. ('00 OEM, Swift, Whiteline, Comptech v2, then Gendron 1.375" hollow) My suggestion is to buy the Gendron bar first and eliminate wasting money on others. Just my .02...

Does outlaw 1 performance no longer make the saner bar?

I was part of this group buy:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/871...1-performance/

I placed the order on July 18th and I still haven't received anything. 4 people out of 23 got their bars and now they aren't responding to anything.

What purpose? B-stock on Hoosiers, you'll need a big bar. STR and street-tire B-stock can get away with softer bars.

I've been searching for sway bars for a long time. I have an 04 and I feel like its impossible to find the saner bar. I have heard alot of good things about the swift bar and the whiteline bar. I know that the Evasive Motorsport S2000 runs swift f+r sway bars and to my knowledge Evasives s2000 is a pretty well balanced car.

To CKit's point -- this thread is pointless until the original poster clarifies his intended use. A Saner bar isn't interchangeable with Swift bars front and rear -- the ratio of roll stiffness front to rear would be radically different between the two setups.

If the original poster really needs a mega-stiff front bar (usually for autocrossing in a class that allows minimal modifications), then sirbunz's post is correct -- there are no cheap options, so open your wallet and choose between Gendron and Ankeny. If the original poster doesn't need a mega-stiff front bar, then he was likely barking up the wrong tree in the first place trying to buy a Saner.
