    Gauging Interest: AWD Sway Bars

    As some of you know, I work at a manufacturing plant. My dad is the president of the company and we have about 10 CNC machines at my disposal, full engineering staff, and 150 employees.

    Right now I am in the process of engineering AWD Sway bars for the 3S platform, I wanted to see if the market is there for them.

    I am getting some AWD sway bars mailed to me and I will be having them reinforced and I will include the endlinks for the sway bars.

    They will definitely fit. Once all is done with the engineering I will get an a official quote. If there is enough interest I might be able to sell them for less than saner.

    Before I sell the sway bars I want to sell some discounted to a select few to prove to the community that they will work.

    I would be interested. Also though if they fit... I know you said that they would but, the Sanners(iirc) were a little small a few years ago where the hump over the drive shaft is. And cut I think a couple of peoples CFDS. When they would take off it would inch down and cut it after a little time wearing into it.

    Also, would you be able to make some strut tower bars like the TEC bars? I dont know if he makes them anymore.

    I've heard rumours about our cars that you only need to do the front as the stocker is pretty good. Is this true? Being that our cars are big, heavy and AWD, what is the best format (front AND rear - just the front, just the rear) for drag racing, auto X and circuit racing?

    Thanks.

    I believe *correct me if I'm wrong* but doing the rear, will help with understeer, which our cars are notorious for, doing just front, would lessen oversteer and greaten understeer, which is not what we want for our cars. I think that's right, I might have it backwards? Or maybe I'm totally off...my brain is falling apart and I can't retain anything worth remembering

    Ideally, with experimentation with front and rear braces AND sway bars, you could mix and match and get a well balanced car for whatever your desire
