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.
