1. Why you should rate your stabilizer by rate increase instead of bar thickness?

Swift rates stabilizers bars by the rate of increase and not bar thickness because our stabilizers are solid one piece bars. Our bars are not hollow nor have a welded end piece like other brands. With stabilizers bars, people might think that same diameter of thickness must equal same performance on any brands. The fact is the difference in materials and the difference in bend points will determine the difference in characteristics and performance that end users can expect. The thickness of the bar can only tell you the amount of material that was used to produce the bars. It cannot tell you the amount of rate increase for your specific chassis..



2. Why your stabilizer cost more then other brands?

If you compare our stabilizers bars to other brands, the first characteristic that you will notice is the bend points that we have on our bars. Most of the stabilizer bars that you see are straight all the way across with some minor bend points that you can barely see. We discover through our testing that bending the bar at a specific point is needed to optimize the performance of the bars.

Second, when you look at the end of the Swift Stabilizer Bar, you will notice that we do not weld the end portion of the bar like other manufacture does. Weld on pieces on the bars will decrease the stiffest of the material and will not be as strong as Swift one piece stabilizer bars. The bushing for the stabilizers bars were also looked at. We discovered that each application needs different stiffness in bushing to optimize the performance. Therefore, stiffness on bushing varies between different applications.



3. Why are Swift stabilizers not adjustable like other brands?

When end user changes the position of the stabilizer bars; the angles of the stabilizer end link changes. This angle of the end link affects the movement of the suspension. Swift only made one position for the attachment with end link; therefore, you get the most efficient linkage angle and the most out of you stabilizers bars.



4. There are some HOLLOW design stabilizers out there, aren’t they better since they are lighter in weight than your solid bar?

In order to obtain the same torsion rates as solid bars with hollow design, you will need to use really stiff materials.
For the stabilizer bar to function optimally, the right amount of FLEXIBILITY is one of the most important factors. A bar that is made out of really stiff material tends to react too violently and will cause tires to loose unnecessary traction. A flexible stabilizer bar will create a smooth body transition without any needs of driver compensation. Swift believes that traction improvement is the main priority for the sway bar. We are willing to sacrifice a little bit of weight to gain the best in performance.
