Pfadt Sport Sway Bar Package
Pfadt Race Engineering is proud to add the Sport Sway Bars to our 2010 Camaro product offering! Install our Pfadt Sport Bars on your Camaro and you'll immediately feel more planted and in control! We've built our reputation on engineering well-balanced, performance minded suspension products and these sway bars hit the mark. ![]() Made in the USA of high strength steel, our bars provide the proper rate of roll stiffness and balance. Our sway bars will inspire confidence and keep you in control for the ultimate driving experience. Understeer and the 2010 Camaro The Pfadt Camaro sway bars required major engineering changes from the factory bar package to eliminate the notorious understeer. Basic vehicle dynamics say in order to eliminate understeer you must increase the roll stiffness in the rear of the car - our rear bar does exactly that. That's how we’ve achieve such great balance. If a sway bar package offers huge increases in the roll stiffness of the front bar, your Camaro is going to suffer from increased understeer compared to the OEM sway bars! We have developed a package that is the best on the market because we engineer our bars for each specific vehicle application. We start from a blanket sheet of paper for every suspension package and we thoroughly track tested our bars to obtain the ultimate balance. Our rear bar offers three point of adjustment to allow you to fine tune the balance of your car to your tire package and driving style. Whether you're on the street or at the track, you'll have the adjustment you need to perfect the handling. We include Graphite-impregnated Greasable Sway Bar Bushings and brackets that include the grease zerks for a complete installation. • Eliminates understeer by providing proper balance • Enables fine-tuning with rear adjustment for street or track • Increases performance by reducing body roll and increasing steering response • Easy installation with basic hand tools Last edited by PfadtRacing; 09-03-2009 at 04:15 PM. |

This product advertises reduction of understeer. I would to see some track videos demonstrating this. Not trying to say your product doesn't work, but nothing is more better than seeing the product speak for itself.

Can we see some installation instructions too? Is it required to unhook the front motor mounts to install the front sway bar like on other vendors setups?

I have to say I really like the machined end fittings rather then the mashed tubes others use. When I get my car you're at the top of the list. Keep us informed when you get parts in stock. Thanks.

It's coming!

Pfadt Racing believes that the sway bars are the ultimate tuning tool as they provide balance so that is where we started. The Camaro in particular is very unbalanced and by simply changing the bars you can make the car more responsive to steering input. I was amazed at the difference that the bars alone made; it feels like a totally different car. It is important to also understand that simply putting aftermarket bars on isn't going to fix the issues if they haven't been engineering properly. Our package is specific to the Camaro and that is how we do things. I will post more product very shortly. We have a lot of exciting projects including the Carriage House Customs American Iron car that we will be supporting! We've also been approached by some great organizations to put together packages. Although we appear to be behind on releasing the products we're actually ahead because our systems will work as advertised. Please feel free to call or email me anytime with your specific goals and we can help you make it happen! Kind regards, |

So what speeds were you able to achieve with the sway bars versus stock before encountering understeer? Any numbers you can give us?
Here ya go.

We'll post some documentation of our skid pad numbers in the near future. We'll set up a real comparison test where we run our production bars against stock bars and show the improvements with hard data. We'll certainly do all of our testing with the stock tire package. This weird thought (that seems to be gaining traction on this forum) that you have to change tires to make the car work is crazy. ![]() Stay tuned. Aaron Pfadt |

Do you have any info on the actual specifications of the bars? Such as over all thickness, are they solid or hollow, what material are they made out of, if they are hollow what is the wall thickness, weight gain or loss over stock, ect?
