Rear sway bar- Just Suspension

Post by CtownRunner » Sun Feb 04, 2007 5:34 pm

I noticed Just Suspension has a rear sway bar for $99. Thought I might want to put one on for that price.

Just want input about benefits of rear sway bar. I already put the HD leaf springs and KYBs on. The front has all new Just Suspension rebuild and KYB too.

Has anyone put a J.S. rear bar on; was it difficult and was it worth the cost and effort?

I have the stock suspension on the B7 car and a rear sway bar from a later model 72-74 on the butterscotch runner....huge cornering difference...

Depending on the suspension set up sway bars can make you handle worse. Custom setups such as adding a 4 link and adding rear coil overs seem to help more to me than a sway bar. Some people go owtch kinda pricey. Then I say have you seen what the car is worth dont you want it to handle right? Remember when sway bars came out suspension technology wasnt that advanced at that point. So you may want to look at things like adding a 4 link or perhaps a coil over system etc etc. These adders make the car handle to me more like a newer vehicle. And you can always go to a fast track assist steering system as well.
