...and so did the front.

Many people ask whether our bars are solid or hollow. They ARE in fact hollow chromemoly bars. Why hollow? Well, firstly, hollow bars are about half the weight of solid bars. Also, due to the chromemoly construction, the bars are still able to retain the targeted stiffness value. Many people only speak of swaybar diameter. But, we have the actual tension rates. Please call or send us an email if you have any questions about Tanabe Stabilizer Bars.

Technician Maeda is astonished by the high quality construction of the Tanabe Stabilizer Bar and perfect fitment.
