Steeda's 1 3/8 inch diameter competition front sway bar evolved from our original adjustable front sway bar and gives you an added level of control over our original adjustable sway bar.
Designed and manufactured exclusively by Steeda in the USA to the highest possible standards, Steeda Front Sway bars withstand the rigors of high performance racing whole providing the performance and handling benefits you want without degrading ride quality for street use.
Like the original this bar features 3 adjustment positions for fine tuning of handling balance. This bar provides an additional 17% increase in roll stiffness over our original adjustable front sway bar. This calculates to a 102% increase in front roll stiffness over a 2005-2010 V6 factory sway bar, and a 27% increase in front roll stiffness compared to the factory GT and GT500 front sway bar.
Steeda's sway bars feature our unique and patented welded billet ends instead stamping the ends like competitive designs. Most sway bars available today are made from a solid round bar whose ends are smashed flat and drilled for mounting holes. Our welded end connection is far stronger than stamping the end of the bar. Combined with billet machined construction for the sway bar ends makes for far greater strength for a practically bulletproof sway bar.
Looking for the ultimate competition level handling combination? Use this sway bar with Steeda's 555-1071 Mustang rear sway bar for competition level handling, here.
Our sway bars have machined steel billet sway bar ends, whereas others on the market have coined ends. What does this mean? Our sway bar ends are machined out of billet steel round stock, in-house, on our multi-axis CNC lathes and go through hundreds of computer simulations to ensure the ultimate in strength and performance - this provides greater resistance to bending stresses, and has three major advantages: - These parts are less prone to cracking/fatigue failure on the ends themselves.
- It also reduces unwanted deflection in the sway bar end. Excess deflection creates unwanted geometry changes, which physically changes your sway bar stiffness to a non-ideal rate.
- With less unwanted deflection, our bars will 'wear out' slower - any spring will eventually become softer over time as it is cycled through its life, our bars will maintain their designed rate for longer with less unwanted deflection.
Our bar rates are developed and optimized through advanced vehicle dynamic simulation and through extensive real-world testing. We engineered these bars to control the vehicles' roll stiffness properly while still allowing you to run softer springs. This optimizes your overall grip and balance of the vehicle while still allowing you to maintain exceptional ride quality.

Hi I'm Gus Irizarry. Today we're gonna discuss some myths and facts about front sway bars.
Myth Number One: A front sway bar has to be solid not hollow in order to survive the life of the vehicle and more importantly competition use. While this may have been true 20 years ago, the reality today is that many original equipment manufacturers are making their front sway bars hollow or tubulars we like to call them, in order to save weight to meet their fuel mileage requirements. Just like weight is the enemy a fuel mileage weight, is also the enemy of performance. We make our sway bars out of tubular material to keep their weight to a minimum. While the weight difference between the solid bar is typically only several pounds, it is several pounds of unsprung weight and that is important. If you're serious about the performance of your vehicle then you want to keep any increase in unsprung weight to a minimum. Even a small change in unsprung weight can add up to a measurable difference in performance. Which in the end adds up to a better performing vehicle.
Myth Number Two: A tubular front sway bar is not strong enough for long-term use. This is false. Our tubular front sway bars are many times stronger than the required maximum stress level for the given application. So strength is never a worry with our tubular sway of our designs.
Myth Number Three: When a front sway bar is made from coin or stamped ends with a round tube bend is stamped flat it does not weaken the integrity of the bar. This is false and while this type of construction may be OK for a factory stock car that is not going to see any type of spirited driving or competition use, if you will see composition driving and spirited use that type of driving can potentially compromise the sway bar with stamp ends. Stamped ends create a potential point of failure and we have seen failures of this style bar in both aftermarket and original equipment bars. Our sway bar ends are precision machined out of billet material are mated it to the sway bar tube through welding. Billet ends joined by a weld joint make for a far superior part in terms of strength and you could ever achieve with a stamp end. Our fun sway bars will keep unsprung weight to a minimum and have the strength that has been proven through competition use.
