Sway Bars: What did you choose & why?

[Durango 95]

With a stiffer/tighter coilover, you'll need less swaybar. The Z1 bars are about as stiff as it gets for the Z. Too much bar can actually be a bad thing and cause you to lose grip earlier than you otherwise would. Since you already have them though, I think step #1 would be to set them full soft after the coilover install as a starting point, and dial them in from there. It may be worth getting Z1's opinion as well since they sold you both the bars & coilovers. Are you using the adjustable end-links to pre-tension the bars or just hold them level & neutral?

I remeber reading on here that of the sway bars listed that the Z1 bars were the stiffest of the bunch. Part of the reason I was wondering if loosening them would be a good idea.. Asking Z1 is a good idea. Starting out with the Z1 sways at the least tension is another good idea. Unfortunately if I remeber correctly those bars only have two settings. (Really Tense and Super Tense..lol) I'll have them adjusted to the least tension. Not too sure about your last question though. I know that I have the SPL FUCA adjusted to spec. Rears w/ the SPL camber links as well. Probably doesn't answer your question. But I will find out on Tuesday. I really appreciate everyones input on this. The Ohlins cost a few $ and I want to make sure that I get them working the best they can. At least as much as I can from the start. Though I'm sure some fine-tuning will be needed afterward.

I did some research and number crunching a while back of the bars I was considering and put together this little chart.

Based on what I plan to do with may car (country roads in the mountains and foothills) I will likely get the Stillen since I just want to remove body role and tune out understeer a bit.

I don't want to lower it and I do not want stiffer shocks.

What YOU pick for YOU, depends on YOUR planned build and, what YOU plan to do with YOUR car.

I have Stillen sway bars.
The Mishimoto aluminum undershroud does not work with Stillen at stock height. There is zero clearance and it bangs on the shield at any movement.

Where re the bars contacting the undershroud? Do you have pics?

This really surprises me since Stillen diameter is the same as stock. Must have something to do with the bends or ends?

My bet is that the bar is upside down. Try removing it and flipping it over.

Flipped it over multiple times and still has clearance issues.
I asked both vendors and they stated they only tested it with OEM.
If you look at czp vs mishimoto and compare, the bend is about 2" further.

If anyone wants the Mishimoto shield, I'll sell it to you. Sth Florida.
