the answer is of course YES! The sway bar's undergo the same stringent manufacturing process.
Every bar is cold-formed, heat treated, shot-peened (an
H&R's exclusive process), and dimensionally checked for
accuracy - this guarantees INCREASED
life and surface hardness. What makes H&R sway bars so unique is that it
has special machined-like forged ends, making them adjustable for
fine-tuning.
| All these features and details in
one set of sway bars, there must be A LOT
of maintenance required, right? Wrong, H&R Sway Bars come equipped
with exclusive URETHANE/TEFLON
composite Bushings, which means NO
maintenance, NO lubrication, and
NO squeaking! With all this, every
bar is also powder coated for long lasting performance, quality,
and appearance. Just Bolt-on and go. |

About
Sway Bars
Suspension tuning doesn't stop with the springs and shocks. To really get your
car dialed in, you'll want to look at a wide range of other components in your
arsenal, including sway bars. Most modern performance-oriented vehicles now come
stock with sway bars. The main purpose of a sway bar is to make the outside
springs seem stiffer in a corner which is ideally what you'd want for the
best performance.
Sway bars are used to counterpart the lean and roll you experience from your
springs. If you are seeking flatter cornering with less wallowing in the turns
then you should definitely be considering sway bars as a crucial upgrade to your
car's suspension components. Sway bars are also often available with adjustment
holes in the end link mounting tabs, which prove to be a useful tool for dialing
in the handling attitude of the car, from understeer to oversteer.
The beauty of upgrading to stiffer sway bars is that they not only have a
minimal impact on ride quality, but also they allow the use of softer springs so
that a car can be set up for a cushier around-town ride and a flatter cornering
attitude. Stiff springs and a very stiff sway bar can reduce body roll so much
that the car's breakaway is hard to predict. Roll gives you some warning before
you run out of grip. Most sway bars can be installed with basic hand tools.
