This evening while ordering a set of new coil-overs for my C5 Z06, Robbin of Pfadt Race Engineering informed me that they will be releasing a redesigned Sway Bar sometime next month. Velocity Corvette Club is really excited to get our hands on the new product, and have been promised to receive a unit from the first production batch.
Check out the Prototype photo:
The main new features are:
- The spline is cut directly into the bar stock.
- The arms feature the spline cut at an angle to eliminate the bending process.
- The arms will be lighter and made out of 2024 aluminum.
- Both the front and rear arms will have an additional adjustment hole
- The end links are custom-made to our design specs in the USA.
- The new end links weigh approximately ½ of the existing ones. The end links will have a turnbuckle feature so their length can be adjusted without removing them.
Pfadt will continue to offer a Street package and the competition Pfatty package. Pricing for the new Sway Bars has not been finalized, but is expected to be higher then the existing product lines. Pfadt will also continue to sell the current product until inventory runs out.
