This is for the rear sway bar.
Well Brian and I have been thinking hard about our sway bar dilemma. we want more bar, so we can use less spring, and with less spring, more bump. we need maximum adjustability for this bar. For the bar to work at 100%, we need the endlinks vertical. Also, we want the bar to have the least amount of bends possible. Now you all know ASR has a bar like this. However, the adjustment is limited with that piece because of the short endlinks. So what did we come up with? Something similar to the RealTime RSX.
The bar will be mounted within the cabin of the car. If you look at where the current endlink mounting tabs are located, directly above them are the rear camber kits. In order to bypass these we will move the mounting tab farther back and towards the outside of the car. Heim joints will be used for the endlinks. a CNC'd straight arm will be used to hold the bar. the bar's ends will be broched for a nonplay fit. we are still deciding on how to mount the bar to the frame rail (another advantage of our bar) but it will either consist of a bracket that is bolted on or welded. The bracket will house a bronze bushing. A slotted hole will have to be cut in the wheel wells to allow the bar to have maximum adjustment. it will clear the stock fuel lines, etc. Now that I've covered the basics of the bar, I'd like to get some feedback. Discuss.
Cliffs:
endlink relocated, long ass endlink will come up vertically.
slotted hole needs to be cut in wheel well, CNC'd arm connects to endlink.
45" long bar will have broched ends to ensure tight nonplay fit.
bar will pass through a bracket connected to the frame rail. bracket will house bronze bushing.
bracket will allow for adjustment of bar via slotted holes.
