It would suck if any sway bar snapped. We have no evidence that this one is any more prone to failure.

Well it's obviously steel so whats whitelines? Stillen? Hotchkis? I get where you're coming from but I'm not sure sways are chromoly. So that pretty much leaves DOM for tubing and hot or cold roll for solid. Idk about you but 30.3mm of any is pretty freaking strong. Hell the chart someone made on which bars are strongest just used moment of inertia for all being the same material. If WL's chromoly and Hotchkins is cold roll, then everyone's understanding of which sway is strongest is dead!

That's what I'm talking about! But everyone hates the rear haha. Most run OEM and some run nothing unless you drift. I'm a little OCD so I'd like that flat on concret against flat against a wall (no carpet). This would be optimal measurements.

I put the rear on my hardwood floor against drywall, looks like the endlink hole is at 150mm. That's the best you're gonna get! :bowrofl:

Not sure if I have the motivation to remove / reinstall the front bar to get these measurements, at this point I still haven't even driven the car.

Well I just might be putting my swag on here soon. I'm gonna see if I can break a steel bar with sway.

Installation: 9/10
Fitment was perfect, comes with front bushings and rear bushings / brackets. You have to reuse the stock front brackets. Deducting a point since it didn't come with grease.

Price: 10/10
$129 shipped for front and rear bars speaks for itself.

Appearance: 8/10
Scuffs and paint chips were visible before I even fully unwrapped them - not a big deal as I dragged them across the garage floor anyway while I was under the car. You can't see these, it doesn't bother me at all.

Build: TBD/10
Too early to tell build quality and / or longevity. The bars appear to be solid steel. The one thing I would change would be crimped on bushing stops instead of spot welded stops, although I believe most other sway bars on the market have spot welded stops as well.


I finally installed the rear bar and took the car out last night, the sway bars make the car feel great! The car is noticeably flatter in corners and has a more robust feel (hard to explain); I couldn't be happier with $130 sway bars. No strange noises, no strange feels, nothing cracked in half yet.

I think we all know the benefits of a sway bar and I'm not the person to give a 'track day' review of these, so there's not much else to say other than I'm happy with my purchase. I will keep everyone updated if anything bad happens as a result of these things.

tldr - I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.

Fantastic! After I move this weekend I think im gonna pick up a set

I'm glad to see the good review OP. I will pick up a set myself. Thank you for the input.

Must say one more thanks to brank for taking the time and spending the money to review the sways. Keep us posted on what you on email.

Figured it's been a while so I wanted to check in and see whats the verdict is sir branky

Yeah how'd they go? I'm looking into it now

Still love them. No problems, noises, or complaints.

What type of driving do you do; street, autoX, track?

Ever had a chance to compare them to another bar?

Interestingly the Advanation front bar is thicker than the Whiteline, both solid. What could be the possible disadvantage in going with these? Different steel alloy?

Edit: No adjustment based on the pics. Is that right?

At this point it's only been street driving due to weather. When it warms up a little I'll be taking it to the mountains and probably hitting up an autoX.

I've never had a chance to compare to another bar so I can't comment on any disadvantages, other than there is no adjustment on this bar.

So would you say for someone who just does spirited driving it's a decent upgrade over our oem?

It is a significant upgrade over oem. The only concern anyone here has is longevity. I think you can buy just the front now on ebay, from what I hear the rear doesn't do all that much

Well I got it. Well see how it goes. I'm all up for cheap well made parts lol

Great to hear. As soon as my fuel issue is fixed I think I'll pick one up!

Just checking in to ask if you've installed yours yet. If so, what are your impressions? Brancky3 gave some great feedback and I would be interested in your comments, as well.

I pulled the trigger and purchased the front bar today. I figure if it's not to my liking, I'm only out a few bucks.

Got the front done today actually! Feels great, minor paint chips but the bar feels much better than stock. I didn't get the rear since I heard ours is fine.

Nice! Glad to hear the installation went well and that your first impressions are positive. Thanks!
