Product Description
The two primary functions of sway bars are to control body roll and to determine the understeer or oversteer behavior of a vehicle. Stock sway bars have low torsional spring rates because they are manufactured from small diameter bar stock or tubing. BMR Suspensions SB033 rear sway bar was designed by factoring in the vehicle weight, application, motion ratio, coil spring rate, and adjustability requirements. Manufactured from heavy-wall 32mm DOM tubing, the SB033 is cold formed to better resist torsional fatigue and retain its "memory" far longer than the hot-formed bars used by many competitors. The sway bar is CNC-formed for exact manufacturing tolerances and repeatable high quality.Thrust washers are welded to the bar to locate the sway bar bushing mounts. This is critical as it properly locates the sway bar and prevents lateral movement during hard cornering maneuvers. The SB033 attaches to your Camaro with 88-durometer polyurethane bushings, reducing the deflection from the stock rubber bushings. These bushings are molded from 88-durometer, low-deflection, polyurethane, and are internally fluted to keeps grease in the bushing. The fabricated laser cut, TIG-welded steel sway bar end links are reinforced to minimize deflection. The sway bar is 3-way adjustable to tune the amount of torsional spring rate and to determine the handling characteristics (understeer/oversteer) of the vehicle. BMR Suspension designed the SB033 sway bar for street performance, drag race, autocross, and road race applications. The large adjustable sway bar has three positions, giving you the versatility to drive to and from the track and still out handle the competition with the same sway bar. The SB033 gives you a 25%-200% increase in rate over the stock bar (depending on year and model). These rate increases and adjustability allow you to fine-tune the handling characteristics of the suspension so you can drive harder through corners with minimal body roll. The hollow design allows for loads of strength without adding a lot of weight. This allows for more sway bar control, which equals better handling. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension! BMR Suspensions SB033 sway bars are available in black hammertone and red powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is about 1-2 hours. Proudly made in the U.S.A.! Below are rate specs compared to OE available bars: OE SS bar (FE4) -Hole number 1 provides just over 100% increase in rate over the factory FE4 bar -Hole number 2 is 150% -Hole number 3 is 200% OE ZL1 bar (FE5) -Hole number 1 provides just over 25% increase in rate over the factory FE4 bar -Hole number 2 is 40% -Hole number 3 is 75% FITMENT NOTE: SB033 IS DESIGNED AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR FE4 REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, WHERE THE SWAY BAR END LINKS ARE LOCATED OUTBOARD OF THE REAR SHOCKS. THIS INCLUDES 2012+ ZL1 AND 2013+ SS. 2010-2012 SS MAY UPGRADE TO THIS FE4 BAR IF REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND REAR SWAY BAR END LINKS ARE UPGRADED TO FE4 SPEC. SB033 WILL NOT FIT ON V6 APPLICATION DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH REAR V6 BRAKE CALIPERS, OR CONVERTIBLE CAMAROS.
