My New Rear Sway Bar
Made by Mike Maier, from Maier Racing, Hayward, CA.
I'm going to guess that, one a good day, that my 27mm Whiteline bar would produce, maybe, 200 lbs/in.
This bar's minimum is 350lbs/in to max 550lbs/in. This is my first bar, the "soft" bar. If I need stiffer, he will make me a "hard" bar, which will be 550+lbs/in to about 750lbs/in.
It's much lighter, it's much stronger, and it's ridiculously smooth and efficient.
It wasn't quite stiff enough at Sunday's autox, so I will go up a notch on one side before the next event. But at the softest setting, it's cured all my understeer woes. It works just so well, I can't really stop praising it.
