  • SLP 35mm Sway Bar Kit, is it worth $400+ price tag?

    I guess SLP is dumping some parts from the 2000-02 F-body program and I've been looking for their 35mm sway-bar for quite some time. My LT4 came with the regular 32mm 1LE bar and I have already replaced the 19mm stock rear bar with SLP's 21mm bar, which I think should be matched up with the 35mm front bar? But $400+ for a hollow 35mm Sway-bar OUCH! Any other suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Well I decided on the Spohn bars. I think the Spohn 32 mm bar is stiffer than the SLP 35mm hollow bar. SLP does not state what their bars are made out of. My bet is it is cold rolled steel. The Spohn is made out of 4140 chrome moly heat treated spring grade steel. http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1403 . 4140 is stronger than cold rolled steel. Well I got this far without saying bigger isn't necessarily better. LOL

        Thanks Jeff & Ken, probably gonna just keep searching for one of SLP 35mm Bars which were designed to work with the Herb Adams designed End Links instead of the normal ones which came on our cars from SLP. SLP said that only a handfull were ever made, but so far I have only been able to locate the End Links on ebay.
