sway bars that is


photomunkey turned me on to these sway bars from Progress Technology

front bar is tubular with 1.25" OD x 0.25" wall thickness and three endlink adjustment holes in each arm

rear bar is solid 19mm with two endlink adjustment holes in each arm

 

That's the same size RB uses (32mm and 19mm). Although there are no adjustments on those. Are you going to get a set of the PT sways?

 

The RB bars are softer, their front bar is only 0.188" thick and their rear bar is tubular with a 0.125 wall

big difference!

and yes I am

.

 

price aint bad either...anyone install these yet?

 

photomunkey has the first set I believe

 

Progress rocks. Brings me back to my EG days.

 

hmm, very interesting. what endlinks will you use?

 

These look quite promising. I'd like to hear more about them if there is any other info.

Nice find Team.

 

I like the price! Would these work well with Tein Flex?

 

amazing thread title

 

fwiw, Speedsource makes the same size front bar for GrandAm that is sold exclusively through MazdaMotorsports for 3x the cost of this one


ptuning.com sells the bars for the same price, but with free shipping

lol, you just had to take a peak ...

 

hey, I don't just roll over for anybody

 

lol, who's the softy

 

These look nice. Guess I know where my next money is going!

 

w00t, they are on the way

I probably won't receive them before Monday though seeing as how UPS sucks ...

 

Received the bars today, went to take a pic and discovered I left my digicam at work so no stiffy pics for MissyK yet

quality looks very good, bars are powdercoated a nice gray metallic color, supplied with black polyurethane bushings and silver zinc-plated brackets, but no grease fittings

 

 

Is there any purpose to multiple endlink holes if your endlinks are adjustable?

 

the adjustable endlinks only adjust their length to add or avoid pre-loading the bars in the static position

the holes in the bar arms allow you to change the effective stiffness of the bar for tuning the balance, it's all based on lever arm length, the holes closer to the bar pivot point (the D bushing) create a shorter lever arm which results in a stiffer bar rate and the holes farther away from the bar pivot point create a longer lever arm which results in a softer bar rate

they're not the same thing

 

bushings?
