    Where is a source to get started so to speak on sway bars for 308s/328s?

    An upgraded sway bar would be nice, and I would be willing to go to titanium for it too. :cool:

    I would like to know where to start to perhaps even get a custom one made. Thanks!

    I think I remember a thread about this...but maybe it was part of a suspension thread....

    Anyway, Nick has them. Butch at italian design has them. Probably others as well.

    I recall reading in one of Carroll Smith's books that he used tubeular, (sp?) bars to save weight rather than going to noweightium or unobtanium.
    Does anyone make adjustable bars for the 3x8?
    It might be posible to have a stiffer tube made for an adjustable bar and have increased roll resistance and a reasonable cost. Titanium is surely light - but at what cost. If you are going to play with the suspension, the ability to adjust the bar might soon save you quite a bit over the cost of a few custom Ti bars.

    just a few quick thoughts,
    chris

    Take a close look at the eBAY link hanknum posted earlier, they're adjustable:
    "The bars are three way adjustable so you can fine tune your handling and balance, adjusting the stiffness of your bars and thus the balance of your handling. "

    Think there was more about them in a thread a few months ago, might do a search.

    I have "upgraded" to stiffer ARBs front and rear with adj end links and 2 position settings per bar. Search on some of the posts on the old site, there was quite a bit of discussion on the topic previously, along with suppliers etc. Just remember, it is one part of the equation (tires, springs, shock valving etc). That said, each bar was $200 - 250 including end links and made (to my judgement) quite a difference.
