Stillen sway bar combo

blbrchnk · Jun 5, 2009

I have done all my mods based on the best gear I could get for the money. I was looking around for a cost effective sway bar combo, and came across these:

STILLEN : STILLEN Sway Bars

Anyone have any experience with these? Also, what would the difference be between the $200 set with the flat rear bar and the $300 set with the rear bar that has all the bends (other than the $300 set has the adjustable rear)?

Thanks!

Correct, the more expensive set has an adjustable rear bar. The way the adjustment works is you just move the point where the endlinks attach to the bar (up or down the end of the sway bar, thus the multiple bolt holes). Moving the end links closer to the swaybar (further up the bar towards the center of rotation) will increase the stiffness of the bar (or the effective stiffness as seen by the axle).

To make the rear bar adjustable they had to create a custom mounting setup, thus the added expense.

I haven't heard anything, good or bad, about the stillen setup, but for the price it's worth looking into.

Good deal, the shape of the rear bar on the more expensive kit is different too. Would that be a more beneficial design?

That's really beyond my knowledge, but I doubt the bends will make a huge difference.
