DomLee Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm looking at sway bars, and I need some input. http://www.suprastore.com/trdfronandre.html http://www.tanabe-usa.com/stabilizers/# For the TRD sway bars (front and rear): What is the material of the bars? Chromeoly Steel or steel? How much stiffer than stock? (Suprastore claims to be 27% stiffer) What are the outer diameter of the bars? What are the weight of the bars? For the Tanabe sway bars (front and rear): I know it is made from Chromoeoly Steel. Don't know how much stiffer than stock. Don't know the outer diameter measurements. What are the weight of the bars? I'm not looking at the any other bars at this time. I know the Daizen bars are a popular choice, but a lot of people seem to choose that bar because it is the biggest/thickest/stiffest available. Personally, I don't care for these bars. I know what I'm looking for, and just because it is the thickest...doesn't cut it for me. I'm looking for a performance package that suits me, my driving style and the intended application. Seems like a lot of people don't know much about HOW their suspension works and what variables will be affected when changes are made. And I also know that Titan makes a set of sway bars as well. I may be interested in these, but I want to know about the TRD and the Tanabe right now. Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusman400 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Chromoly is very good, pro-stock drag racing cars have frames built from chromoly steel because of ti's resistance to flexing. Very good material. 4130 chromoly steel is rated with the best tensile strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
