Will do. They're very heavy, I'll get weight as well

Advertised measurements are accurate - 30.3mm for the front and 25.36mm for the rear.
Rear bar is ~10lbs, front bar is ~16lbs - not sure how to tell if they are hollow, I'm sure as hell not cutting one in half! :tup:

The bars came with the paint chipped in a few spots, not a big deal but it definitely happened pre-shipping (they were packed well). The middle brackets are welded on (not crimped) which I believe is the same for other sway bars as well? Pics are attached

To tell if they are a solid bar or not. Look at the ends of the bars. A hollow bar, the end will look like a piece of pipe smashed closed. with a seam in it. A solid bar will not have that seam. It will look look a solid piece. From what I can tell, they look like a solid bar. Can you take a picture of the ends?

I don't see any seams. This is the rear bar, the front is already installed.

They're solid.

Nice! How was the install? Did everything fit right? Overall first impressions?

Front was ezpz, everything lined up perfectly - you have to reuse the stock bar clamps on the front so fitment is great. I drove it down my street real quick and nothing bad happened, It could be placebo effect but the front end seems more stout.

I didn't have time to do the rear, but it shouldn't be that much harder - just more things to remove before you can get the bar out.

they look good. I wouldn't worry about chips in the paint considering no one will see them unless it's on a lift. If you do an extended drive and post up a good review on these I will buy a set myself.

CaramelSwag 02-10-2015 01:56 PM
Same here. I'm curious since they're non adjustable how much of an effect that has. Let us know how it handles longer ride, bumpy ride, and aggressive turns. Please and Thanks!

nnnnn... i would not think so. sway bars are an intricate part of the suspension. i wouldnt want to put just any bar on my car..


keep us posted how you like them...

Tadpole 02-10-2015 03:27 PM
If they are better than stock and inexpensive quite a few of us are interested. I will stamp them tadpole sway bars to give it a legit name!
