Stiffness of OEM v/s aftermarket swaybars

Postby tiw » Tue Dec 06, 2016 11:17 am

Does anyone know how a front NB Whiteline swaybar on the outermost hole (less stiff) setting compares to the standard OEM?

On this setting is it more stiff than the OEM?

Thanks

The further away from the sway bar the softer.

What thickness is the whiteline sway bar? Depending on the model it could be 24mm with 2 holes.

Could be wrong but the OEM for a NB is 22mm. If not wrong the 2 hole Whiteline sway bar (set on hard) would be 67% stiffer than OEM and on 'soft' 42% stiffer

Yes, 24mm Whiteline, on softest setting, definitely stiffer than 22mm oem
