Sway Away TB's vs. Sanders
So I've got a box full of suspension parts that has been sitting in my garage for about 6 months. I'm planning on upgrading torsion bars: 22mm front, 30mm rear (Sanders hollow) as well as bushings, sway bars, shocks, etc. I have just about everything I need except the back ordered 22mm front bars. I've been waiting and there seems to be no relief in sight- and when I call Sanders Engineering I get the impression that it could easily be another 6 mos to a year before I can get my bars. I'm tired of waiting and a local shop suggested Sway Away hollow bars in front with the Sanders that I already have in the rear. From what I hear the quality is not quite the same- but I'm not sure what the impact on driving feel/performance would be. I'm hoping someone who knows a bit about the different brands mentioned might chime in and offer some words of wisdom. Thanks.

I've got the solid Sway Away installed for the last 8 years with urethane bushings. No problems to date.
Not sure how hollow will make a big enough difference. |

I'm running hollow sway-a-way's, 23mm fronts, 31mm rears. They have been in the car about a year & 12k miles now. There have been NO problems period!

The only difference you will experience is a very minor weight gain by going with the solid bars. They don't weigh much.
You simply will not be able to tell the difference if I put one product on your car or the other and asked you to test drive the car. Interchangeable parts. |

I forget which, but I have one brand of hollows in the front and another brand of hollows in the back due to availability issues.
