Swaybars as built as you want...
Swaybars have a strange history in Desert Racing & Rock Crawling, strange in that most companies believe you can't tell right from wrong...
In a way its kind of easy to agree with them, after all, it saves you quite a bit of time spent testing to make it perfect. However, I am not going to tell you that I can make you a "Universal Swaybar" like everyone else. It is the impossible dream.
Swaybars are interdependant on too many factors to be that easy. Think about it for a minute before you buy that Anti-stuff and call it good. If we were all racing a car that was built exactly the same it would be true but only to a point...
What makes the difference?
1. Chassis width at the mounting point
2. Chassis weight
3. Arm length required
4. Drivers Style
All of these factors have inter-relationships that must also be considered. Narrow chassis's require longer arms but if thats not possible the bar needs to flex more. But that dosen't even take driving style into account. Some drivers feel perfectly fine doing things that would make another driver wet his pants.
That brings us to what we have to offer. We offer the tools you need so you can create a Swaybar that perfectly suits your driving style and your car. So far there are just 3 pieces but tommorrow we will be adding the Bars themselves with some interesting variations to help you get there!
I will add pics of the bar itself tommorrow but its really pretty straightforward, looks just like a double splined 35 spline axle shaft. However it is made out of 4340 or 300M and included in the cost you would get one adjustment. I don't have the final prices yet on them and won't til tommorrow...

If you want a sway bar made custom to your vehicle, give us a call. I don't believe in a 'generic' sway bar, to work and function properly they really need to be made custom to every vehicle.

So many factors go into a sway bar, but you just let us know the dimension the bar needs to be to fit your chassis, and then a little about your weights, and intended use, and make a bar custom to your application!
