TRG Sway Bar Question

Anyone know what the actual sizes are for TRG sway bars? I have "A" and "B" The TRG site lists a range of 4 measurements, but doesn't have (that I could find) a mapping of the numerical size to the letter size. I tried calling and emailing and couldn't get a hold of anyone (so how do they actually sell these things if they ignore both email and phone calls?)

Thanks!

I deal directly with Paul there, I can give him a call in the morning and see if I can get anywhere if you like.

Thom:

TRG, like some others, use variable wall thickness tubing for the bars so the OD of ALL their bars are identical in this "modular" system. This permits people to mix 'n match bars without having to buy the whole kaboodle,...:)

SRP and Charley Bars do the same things,......

TRG's A bar is equivalent to a 22mm one, B bars are equivalent to 25mm, C bars are a 27mm, etc.

Hope this answers your question.

Well thanks Steve, saves me a phone call! :)

Cheers, Jeff

Right; I knew that when I bought it, I'd just forgotten the mapping of sizes to thicknesses.

Cool, this was exactly what I needed to know - thanks!

You see, I've been chasing an understeer problem (pun intended). I have great turn-in, but even with 2.5 degrees of negative camber in the front, the car would still push as I neared the corner exit. As an example, in turn 2 @ Thunderhill, I almost went off a couple of times because as I poured on the coal at the exit, the car just went straight to the edge of the track! In a moment of desperation, I set the rear bar full-hard and the front bar fulll-soft, the understeer became barely tolerable. When I was monkeying with the bars, I remembered I had two different sizes (which TRG recommended when I bought the setup) and the wheels got to turning that this could be the problem. I'm pretty sure I can switch the bars front and rear, which should solve the understeer issue.

The big wing is only exacerbating the situation.

Tell them the sway bars are for your Pontiac GTO, I bet they answer your e-mail ;)
