What actual number is 114% for the rear sway bar?

Thanks, I didn’t know that, which could add quite a bit, I think. @Raider; asked me to include MS6s and Genwons, but I’m really out of my depths here.

Thanks – definitely and get the correct images attached… lol, I had no idea of the volume when I started this project. When it came time to post, I easily confused myself with the image names. I am QAing each link now, but appreciate any help, including categorising.

Uh... well if stock is 479lbs/in as I've heard stated.

Then ours is 546 lbs/in.

I don't have the number written for sure.

Thanks, but isn't that just 14% stiffer? I don't expect the dimensions to add double the stiffness, but comparing bars and numbers with adjustment options is a cluster of confusion with nothing straightforward. What I really don't understand is the Hotchkis numbers if the JBR numbers are correct., and back to a similar, but narrower CS bar.

Exactly what I was going to say. Corksport website says "Two endlink attachment points to change the stiffness between 114% stiffer than stock, or 180% stiffer. " The numbers you just gave @Spencer@CorkSport; would indicate it is either 14% (or 80%) stiffer, or to put it another way 114/180% of the stock stiffness.
