Just wondering. Are sway bars heat treated in any way as to influance there performance? Or is there spring/torque just the result of the material itself.
I see a lot of the names here of people who have helped me out over the past year or so. I'm glad I was able to follow the vaccum (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Steve a.k.a. Redbird1 |

If you want to make a bar, just put together something using pieces that were made for it. You can get them at any of the big race shops.

You aren't going to save any significant amount of money having one fabbed up then heat treated. I'd only do that if you were looking to make some custom shape that isn't available. |
