Another Swaybar thread

Can't beleive you skipped...
Firm Feel Also makes well thought out bolt on tab versions and has different bars to cover the different OEM mounting methods.

Other than for drag racing, a front anti-sway is pretty much always a good thing.

A rear sway bar is 'nother story. Never just randomly install a rear sway bar. When used it needs to be a part of a system. Too easy to end up with oversteer - and on the street you get to find this out in the worst way - like a damp downhill. Then its all over.

Good point! Firm Feel definitely deserves a mention.

But I can tell you why I forgot them. I’ve never run Firm Feel sway bars. And while I have no doubt that they’re high quality, well made parts there’s a few things that have always turned me off of their sway bars. First and foremost, the price. They cost more than the Hotchkis bars. And none of them are easily adjustable. Hotchkis and Hellwigs rear sway bars are both adjustable with multiple end link positions.

Firm Feel is pretty much the only company that offers a frame hung rear sway bar though. So if that’s the route you want to go they’re pretty much the only game in town.

Firm Feel makes really high quality stuff. And I love their torsion bars, LCA pivot pins, and steering rebuild services. But for me their sway bars just don’t do it. For the price of the Firm Feel bars you could buy Hotchkis, and unless you need to have a frame hung bar I think the Hotchkis bars are better. I guess I just don’t think they’re price competitive for what they are.
