Sway Bars

The two primary functions of sway bars are to control body roll and to determine the understeer or oversteer behavior of a vehicle. Stock sway bars have low torsional spring rates because they are manufactured from small diameter bar stock or tubing. BMR Suspension?s SB013 rear sway bar was designed by factoring in the vehicle weight, application, motion ratio, coil spring rate, and adjustability requirements. Manufactured from heavy-wall 22mm DOM tubing, the SB013 is cold formed to better resist torsional fatigue and retain its "memory" far longer than the hot-formed bars used by many competitors. The sway bar is CNC-formed for exact manufacturing tolerances and repeatable high quality. Thrust washers are welded to the bar to locate the sway bar bushing mounts. This is critical as it properly locates the sway bar and prevents lateral movement during hard cornering maneuvers. The SB013 attaches to your G8 with 88-durometer polyurethane bushings, reducing the deflection from the stock rubber bushings. These bushings are molded from 88-durometer, low-deflection, polyurethane, and are internally fluted to keeps grease in the bushing. The fabricated laser cut, TIG-welded steel sway bar end links are reinforced to minimize deflection. The sway bar is 3-way adjustable to tune the amount of torsional spring rate and to determine the handling characteristics (understeer/oversteer) of the vehicle.

BMR sway bars are the most significant handling upgrade you can make to your vehicle. With hand tools and about an hour or so of your time, BMR sway bars will deliver the most noticeable handling improvement to your ride. BMR chooses to cold form their tubular sway bars instead of the conventional hot formed process. For you that means better resistance to torsional fatigue, more consistent "memory" retention, and money well spent for lasting performance and driving enjoyment. BMR put countless hours into developing and testing the ideal rates for their bars, so feel their passion for perfection by installing one of their sway bar kits--you're in control with BMR Suspension.
