iambuddylee Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I still don't see these on your website either. I think stock in the rear are what? 16mm? I'm no auto expert, but going to 22mm, that seems like a huge increase anyone on here have these on their car yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you expect to control that roll that it exibits? Not being a dick or anything but in one breath you question it yet you know the car leans BADLY. Adding a bar that is 2mm thicker wont begin to skim the surface. Any long wheelbase factory AWD car will have built in understeer from the factory as a safe gaurd. Our plans are to increase the front bar diameter and the rear bar diameter. But replacing the rear bar and leaving it on the soft setting would be a nice start. No we havent put it on our site yet. we have a few things in the works for the 2010 LGT and will add it all at once. Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if that means replacing both front and rear bars, then I am there. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles How about I rephrase my question: For the 2009 lgt, I found a couple manufacturers with rear sways, rallitek: 19mm, Whiteline: 20mm. Again as a person with limited automotive knowledge, especially in regards to suspension modifications: I think (but having never driven a car day to day that have aftermarket bars) that one thing a sway bar does is potentially increase the transfer of road bumps, etc to the other wheel and into the passenger compartment, and that effect increases with the thinkness/stiffness of the sway bar itself. I do not know if adding something like this will help the handling of the car while being a detrement to the ride quality of the car, and if adding a sway bar that is over 25% larger than stock will amplify the negative effects more so than a bar that is only slightly larger than stock (while offering only a modest decrease in body roll compared to a bar that is slightly larger than stock). In a more simple way, since you guys know much more about suspension than I ever will, at what point does a sway bar become TOO large/stiff and the negatives outweigh the positives?

SuBiElOvEr Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 dude.... this question is rough. just too many variables including the biggest one which is individual preference. you might get into my car right now and say it rides like shit. I would then kick you out on the next corner and tell you to go scratch but i'm sure you get it. some light reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sway_bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray1967 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 For what it's worth, when I went from stock to my Cobb sway bar setup on my 05, the handling improved quite a bit and there was only a slight increase in ride harshness. The increase in handling was worth it to give up a bit of comfort. After that, I switched tires from All Season Goodyears to All Season Yokohamas, and that softened up the ride a bit as well. So net net, I'm not all THAT much more harsh than stock, with the added benefit of more level cornering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGee Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You aftermarket guys need to hurry up.. Summer is almost here.. This link explains the negatives of too stiff a bar pretty well. http://www.turnfast.com/tech_handling/handling_antiroll As with all good things, more is better only to a point. Because the anti-roll bar connects the left and right sides, this reduces the independence of independent suspension. Too stiff a bar, and you can cause too much loss in the ability of the left or the right wheel to independently respond to road surface imperfections. The purpose of suspension is to maintain maximum tire contact with the road. The purpose of independent suspension is to allow the left and right wheels to each seek that contact separately. The left wheel may need to be going down when the right needs to be going up. If they were tied together as with the old floating rear axles, one or both of the wheels is not achieving maximum contact. In fact, too stiff an anti-roll bar can actually cause an inside wheel to lift completely off the ground during hard cornering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacytruth Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hey RCE, I'm looking to get sways & endlinks for the front and rear of the wifes new 3.6R LTD. I see nothing for the car on your site...... yet quite a bit of info in this thread. Could you let me know price and availability of these parts please? We plan to buy the car at the end of the lease (I work at the dealer so the buyout is REALLY low ) I'm going to mod it slowly untill we buy it. Rallitek has a rear (only at this time) sway and endlink kit out and I'd like to try to compare the manufactures specs on what's available before I decide which ones to go with. Thanks in advance, Rob W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
