Rear sway bar rate - Where to start?

[JRouche]

Hey Rich, I feel yer pain I was in the same boat a earlier this year. I used the SWE splined bar. What I really wanted was just a ball park number. Lbs/In for 5* of twist for any after market bars. I looked high and low and never saw them expressing it in Lbs. but only in bar diameter. Didnt help me much.



I think I came up with my number from an example of one car I found.

So with my arms and the bar I used its 295lbs at 5* of twist. It may be a lil high, but my roll center is a lil low and my car is a lil top heavy. And the bars are only 90 bucks so I can swap it out if I need to. JR

Here is a lil showing on how I mounted mine up if interested. Page two shows the bar..
