Other than Vwong who has one.
I'd like you get one because of its adjustable end link points. On the same token how does moving the endlink position only a couple of inches help increasing the stiffness of the bar?
Please ring in Vwong.

 

I got the Suspension techs and gett'n them put in today...We shall see how the car handles after tomorrow

 

You'll love the bars. But no thread jacking, anyone with Progress?

 

I am interested in this also.

The Progress web site http://www.progressauto.com states
"...shorter moment arm length stiffens the bar rate for more roll resistance..."

By definition the moment arm is the distance from the point at which a force is applied to the point at which rotation occurs. I.E. the moment arm of your wheel is the radius of the wheel.

So if you jack your car us and apply a force A perpendicular to the circumference of the wheel, it will create a specific torque and spin.

If you apply an even greater force B at that point, it will create a greater torque and spin faster.

Similarly, if you applied the same force A to a smaller diameter wheel (i.e. smaller moment arm), the torque will decrease.

So if you can decrease the length of the moment arm of the sway bar (however you can envision that geometry) the force required to create the same torque as the longer moment arm created would have to be higher.

 

Bump.

Does anyone know if the endlinks that come with this bar are better (corrosion resistant) than the stock one?

Could I concievably make my own endlinks for this?

TIA

 

that would be difficult

 

making the end links shouldn't be too bad. I was wondering about the bars also, as I was thinking of swapped out the rear on my 5th gen to the 25mm... wouldn't that work better in conjunction with the factory front 25.4 to help reduce the sway better than if the front was upgraded to a more solid bar also?

Ok this is ultra ghey. Because i replied to JDM LUDE the thing is bitching the title can't have more than half the letters in caps. His name is JDM LUDE and the top was Re: (JDM LUDE) Is there any way to get this changed incase it is the person's nick setting off the "filter"??

 

I found an answer to my own question. If anyone else is interested in this and has a PO.com account, they have a very good thread about this....

my friend bought a progress rear sway bar for his toyota matrix. it was noticeably better than the stock one but he replaced it with a trd sway bar which was almost twice as good. im sure there are beefier sway bars than progress.

 

My bro has an MR2 and he's read that some guys take their TRD bars to a machine shop and have them press the ends thus creating a flat surface where new holes can be drilled and thus have an adjustable bar. Any thoughts on this?
