Front sway bar - mild 15mm
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:33 am
I use an 15mm front sway bar on my torsion beam standard beetle. It’s a mild upgrade from stock & better suited for road use, in my opinion, than the usual 19mm bar. The spring rate increases by the 4th power of diameter increase, so a 15mm bar is 2.5times the spring rate of a 12mm bar and the 19mm bar is over 6times that 12mm bar spring rate.
However it was a Whiteline product that hasn’t been available for a long time (mine was one of the last pair made).
However CSP is now making a 15mm bar, if you are interested, for ball joint beams & 14mm for link-pin.
Sometimes bigger is better, other times maybe not.
