I think it would likely equal massive oversteer, unless you beefed up the front sway bars. Part of the job of the sway bars is to basically absorb enegry, so the frame doesnt have to. Making them stronger to a point in benifical, since the cars were designed with comfort and safety in mind too. But going overboard isnt going to make the car handle better, most likely much worse.

 

All the time! Search double stack sway bar. I had one on my saab till i upgraded to a real genuine sway bar. Double stack sway bars is a nice upgrade, and is a cheap an easy mod. My ride got better, along with the handling. The car actually damped out fast on bumps with the double stack.

^well shit I guess i was completely wrong?

 

I did it.


It's great. And cheap. It feels like a 22mm ARB bar.

Did I mention it's cheap?

 

is it cheap?

I should probably look into doing this on our "lack-luster" 9-3

 

i plan on helping friggen viggen put a second rear sway on his car sometime in the near future, so i (or he) will update on how differently it handles.

 

Hmm... 22mm + stock ARB?

I sense a really bad plan... fucking red bulls. doesn't give me wings - gives me really bad ideas.

 

Maybe its not so popular over here at saablink, but on SC, TONS of people have done it with excellent results.

I think its a great idea...and comparing Palmer's car to my 9-3, there is certainly a difference in cornering feel.

 

Anyone on here who has a aftermarket ARB should sell the factory one for 30 bucks to a fellow saaber.


Doublestack is easy. Some longer bolts and a few hose clamps, and you are all set!

 

I would have... if I was smart enough to think about that back then. It was my first mod. I was young and stupid back then; just plunked it in the trash. :-(

 

I've got a stock one if anyone wants it... hit me with a message, yo.

 

i'll look around for mine too...

 

I might be interested if any of you guys with the upgrades are looking to "unload" a stock rear bar for cheap....if you are looking to get a bunch of cash for it I'll probably pass and find one at a junk yard.

 

I have my stock rear sway bar...and honestly $20 plus shipping and anyone can have it just shoot me an email at bajr6@aol.com

 

30 bucks for the stock swaybar! Thats crazy. I have two, I'll GIVE them away for the cost of shipping. PM me. Mine was free from a fellow saab'er who was GENEROUS. So I am going to return the favor to somebody else.

I could use an ashtray if anybody wants to donate it to me (and ship it free). If you do that, I'll pay the shipping on the bar. If you want to donate me a headlight assembly, I'll shp a bar free, AND sandblast it!

Sounds like a good deal to me! btw, you'll be at my mercy as to when I get my lazy butt down to the postoffice, and paypal is the preffered form of shipping money sent.

ps. The extra sway bar I have is from Marks900SE so props to him.

 

.....or yes, you could just give it away as well.

 

Or I could say "I'm a broke-ass college student, and I could use an extra little bit of cash." I'd be 100% happy with $20 + shipping.

 

My original became the double in Trexturk's car!

 

My original became the double in Trexturk's car!

and i thank you.

I dont know what the other bars feel like, but i like the feel way better then stock.

Thanks again tweek

 

Tboy...you have a PM - in case you don't notice until reading this.

Yep, you and marky373 got dibs unless somebody comes up with an ashtray for me! hehehe

I'll see if I can find out shipping tomorrow.

Tboy

 

drop me a pm if you want a stock sway bar for the cost of shipping , mines been sitting under the deck for three years now - find it a proper home!

 

I have a bunch of factory, $5 for packing plus UPS shipping.. Also we had 2 blemish bars in the last batch from the powdercoat.. $30 takes one..

 

Wow that was quick .. both gone.. Wish there were enough for all interested..

Probably be a couple returned rack braces up soon too. from people that got wrong size one and tried a bit too hard to fit, anyway I will quit stealing this post..

If you double stack the factory rear bars drill them out and use 3/8 or 10mm bolts with proper hardened spacers (next size nuts) between. Not so much fun when the bolts break.
