im curious. is there any1 on here with a polished CTR Sway bar?



i was thinking of polishing mine since i have a polished ASR subframe brace & Function7 LCA's. what do u guys think?
please chime in with pics if possible. thanks!

 

Why couldn't you polish it? It's just a matter of sanding it down to an ultra fine grain.

Start with 500-800-1000-1200-1500-1800-2000 with a high speed sander and clean it up with some roush.

 

You might lose one mm of the 22

 

I think you're too concerned with bling rather than the safety of jackstands.

 

Isn't it a steel bar though? Iv'e seen some rusted sway bars. You would probably have to clear it after polishing. Good luck, I was once a polish ***** but I learned somethings are better left painted.

 

I was thinking the same.

I have never heard of anyone doing this, litearly the first time hearing this.

I say go for it! You might find your the only one to do it.

 

lol

 

lmfao! If you read it without the rest it is hilarious!

 

just curious, arent sway bars made of spring steel? any chance sanding on it would affect how it works? why not just paint it like a silver? nobody would know the difference and it wouldnt rust. just my .02

 

Metal is metal, it polishes like all other metal. It would likely rust, but nothing some occasional silicon spray can't ward off. You'd probably have to re-polish it every 3-4 months.

 

eh, im gunna avoid the hassle and just have it painted to match my valve cover. thanks guise

 

I don't know why you'd want the "polished" look for the sway bar, but you can strip the paint off, sand it down with fine sandpaper then send it to a plater to get it chrome plated (or, even better, nickel plated). It'll get the blingtastic result you're looking for.

...this reminds me of one customer in PR that had our arms plus brace polished and then plated in 24k gold (ewwww, but to each his own).

 

 

I ended up painting the sway bar candy purple w/ flakes since i received the function7 endlinks sooner than i thought
