Aftermarket Sway Bar Selection

I'm running 750lb front springs on my coilovers , and wish they were stiffer. Yet it rides better than it did with cut lowering springs. Keep us updated please!

I felt his starting number was low & will be too soft but we all like what we like. Seems 600# is a good compromise but I know everyone has their own 'this is good' spot. My favorite g-body set-up had 650# 1" drop springs w/drop spindles & ~25" front tires. Low w/o chewing away @ the front OE plastic tubs. It took a minute to figure out that combo.

It's the rate UMI suggested when I called them. Although, this lower rate may work with a big bar

Took it for a test drive around the block. Seems a little bouncy but I have the shocks pretty loose

Exactly. It can very well be spot on @ 'x' ride height. The lower you go, the more rate usually req'd to keep from kissing the road.

I think the straight splined end bars with adjustable links is theoretically a top choice.
also think that for street use a little stronger bar with not so stiff a front spring rate is the direction to go for ride quality vs roll resistance.; such as if fronts on airride .
thats what i think . but what do i know.
think I'm hungry. know leftover grilled pork chops await. that's settled

Before and after. I think UMI sent me 2in drop springs by mistake
