Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
Hey guys i got a 36mm front sway bar and a 24mm for the rear. Along with a wonder bar. I am going to be getting the poly bushings and everything at once and hope i can feel the difference!? I am going to be sand blasting them and painting them a bright red! For 100 bucks thought it was a good deal!? Sorry that pics arent the best i was trying to show how much bigger it is then my original.

Dunno, sound like a pretty decent deal to me.

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
That seems like a good deal to me, too. Not the best, but you certainly didn't get riped. Let us know how it feels when everything's on. Should be a noticable difference if you ever push the car much.

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
that's a great deal! i think i paid about $120 combined for my 36/24mm and wonder bar. i lightly sanded them to get the loose rust off then sprayed them with brake cleaner. then i primed and painted them with Rustoleum. they came out looking great. i also used poly bushings and endlinks. you're going to notice a world of difference- i know i did. i'd like to see how it comes out. good luck!

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
The real difference you'll see is when you get some good shocks on the car. The sway bars help, but shocks/struts....wow

Got them primed today and going to wet sand them later. Might do it couple times to make everythings good. Then might see paint in next couple days!

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
It was a good idea to grab them. I did my bars before shocks too.
I wish I'd spent more time on my painting. Mine are starting to look like crap.

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!

Re: Sway bars/ wonder bar came today!
I made some charts showing the difference in stiffness of the different sized swaybars... but where did I save them on my computer? 
I have one comparing front bars and one comparing rear bars. I've got too much to do lately so it may be a couple days before I'll be able to post the stuff. I'm on my 15 minute break from homework at the moment, then back to the books before I have to go to work tonight. IT NEVER ENDS!
