And do you have any specific rates like the first hole is 50% the second is 100% etc.

And have you compared them to the 1LE?

Compared to the SS bar, the softest position is 62% stiffer, the middle hole is 117%, and the stiffest position is 197% stiffer.For the rear, the softest position is 52%, the middle is 146%, and the stiffest is 198%.

I can get the 1LE rates and do the math but I do not have that info together at the moment.

OK I'll wait, thanks

There's a thread on here with the bar diameters

I would LOVE to see the rates vs. the SS 1LE (also aka normal ZL1) bars. I'm sure the ZL1 owners would like to know too.

I'm looking to add a bit of ARB stiffness to improve my dynamic contact patch but want some data before pulling the trigger.

Any update on SS vs SS 1LE vs BMR swaybar rates?

Sorry I totally forgot! I even threw away the numbers I came up with... I'll try to dig through my papers and excel files to find it. or if someone happens to have the wall thickness on the SS bars I can figure it out again real quick. that was the only spec' I had a hard time finding.

Stock rates (1LE): Front 397lbs / Rear 169 lbs

Thanks! What about the non-1LE SS rates?

According to yours and BMR's claims. the FE3 sway bars for a regular SS would be Front: 367lbs and Rear: 197lbs

How did you get your numbers? I'm confused...

No Problem! I'm not sure on the non-1LE.

Those are the FE3 rates, not the FE4 rates. Even then BMR's percentage claims don't math out correctly.

I found the 1LE number a long time ago on the forum and I got the BMR numbers off their site. Just watch the video they have describing the sway bar and they mention the rates.

[Ryephile]

And if you read above, BMR clearly states they haven't measured the FE4 bars. If you have sources, please share so we can solve this confusion.
