The stock bar may look big, but it is hollow and is constructed from a very thin-wall material, hence it is not as effective as it first appears to be.

There is a fair amount of room for improvement on this car, I think something pretty nice should be in the works!

ETA for now is late January. Sway bars are pretty subjective, so there's no way to post any useful data.

It should drive a lot "better" though

Thanks for the input guys, that put the project in motion! It's now got the 100% green light for production!

I wouldn't worry about the ride or product quality, it will be thoroughly tested before release for sale.

I was asked to check and see if anyone would be interested in upgraded sway bars for the SC430. Pricing would be $499 for a complete set front and rear, with urethane bushings.

Handling will be vastly improved over stock, and much more stable especially at highway speeds.

These would be hollow, so there would be no adverse effect with unsprung weight. Also not so stiff to affect ride quality.

If anyone is interested, please post now or forever hold your peace


This way cool car is pretty neglected as far as performance parts, so the SC430 sway bars were my idea

Just looking for a general show of hands at this point...
