Some Thoughts About Sway Bars
Sway bars are really anti-roll bars. Their primary function is to minimize body lean; therefore; increasing the car's handling capabilities. In effect, sway bars are sort of a torsion bar. They work by stiffening the chassis to resist body roll. What size bars are best for your Z? That depends on how and where you'll be using the car. For most street driven vehicles, you need to strike a good balance between performance potential and ride quality. Contrary to some stories you may hear, oversized sway bars will adversely affect your car's ride quality. Remember that sway bars are a chassis stiffener. Consider how hard you drive and the condition of your local roads. Motorsport sway bars are sized to make your Z handle better while retaining a ride quality similar to the stock suspension. Our sway bars are manufactured from automotive grade spring steel. Since sway bars are torsion bars (a form of springs), regular steel will not do in this application. In addition, the Motorsport sway bar uses end link mounts that are forged. Welded on end link mounts are prone to failure.
