Zero , Ncheung85 ,TJlazer thanks guys !

I ‘m just wondering why such a huge difference from OEM front bar numbers?

Stillen front sway bar hole is 720 lbs. and is only rated at 28.6% stiffer.

Eibach front 1st hole is 730 lbs. just 10 lbs. difference and its rated at a whopping 176 % stiffer?

Hotchkis front, 1st hole is rated even larger by 29% for a total of 205%?

I also found interesting the #2 holes are almost equal in lbs. but really off in actual % numbers.

For example:

Stillen rear bar #2 , 920 lbs. 70% stiffer.

Hotchiks rear bar #2, ? lbs. 75% stiffer.

Eibach rear bar # 3 is only 860 lbs. 60 lbs. less then Stillen and is rated at 230 %, 160% higher then Stillen?

I’m I reading this wrong?

Thanks,

Alex
