Just understand that there is value in certified materials, weld/finish quality, engineer effort (FEA, material selection, design for 6-sigma, packaging, etc), and technician effort (fair wages/hours, quality control, hazardous materials and work environments).

I've seen plenty of their parts in-person, and it's hit-and-miss. I'd rather support companies that invest in quality (as mentioned in my signature). You don't always need Raceseng & Penske parts... but guys like Grimmspeed make cost-effective and quality parts.

In the sway bar market, I'm a fanboy for Eibach, RCE, Whiteline, Cusco, Perrin, Hotchkis, Strano, and TRD. Among them, you should be able to find something that fits your goals.


Keep in mind, this is a sway bar, not a supercharger kit, not a dyno tested set of headers, not a track-tuned set of shocks...they're a pair of bent metal rods that are even likely copies of another brand. Assuming the material used is adequate (and it IS chromoly), it's pretty goddamned difficult to fuck up a swaybar; you literally need to make sure it's bent right , the two holes are drilled reasonable accurately, and the paint doesn't fall off. Maybe they ARE made of butter; I just think the odds are that they aren't. We'll find out shortly!
