Since I come up with low-dollar solutions for folks who want to put their money into the gas tank, as well as install aftermarket parts for people willing to buy more expensive suspension pieces, I have some thoughts on the subject.
The way I use two OEM bars at once is to carefully measure things before making brackets to hold both bars. Welding bars together is something that I don't do.
Where it helps most is that a person cannot
cheaply buy a single aftermarket anti-sway bar that will have the same stiffness as 2 recycled stock bars. Some "stock" bars are better than others.........I can tell you later what to look for.
Bars from the boneyard are about $10 each compared to hundreds of dollars for new aftermarket bars.
For some cars, not all bars are direct bolt-ons, but careful measuring will tell you what fits. Bars from some Preludes will fit some Accords, if the proper brackets are made...as a for instance.
There probably are other combinations that I haven't yet worked with, but I can demonstrate that my own car handles really well in
the turns with low dollar solutions. You have to experience
the difference! Something that I can demonstrate next time
you ride with me.
I can probably do the same for a lot of other cars, too. We should talk next time I see you at the meets. Typing time is short.-Bob
Hey, I was talking to someone and he was saying something about welding a 2nd stock sway bar onto the stock piece for added stiffness. How much does this really help? Is it as good as just adding a single thicker bar? If so, how much do you charge for this, and do I need to get the sway bars for you to weld together? Also, do you do it while still on the car, or do they have to be removed?
Thanks in advance,
