Over 2 years in the planning, research and development, testing, and production! 3SX partnered with Addco to develop and introduce sway bars for the AWD 3000GT/Stealth platform! Swaybars, often called anti-roll bars, make a great addition to the overall handling characteristics of the car, without sacrificing any ride quality or comfort. The 3000GT is a big heavy car, no one ever questioned that... And heavy cars tend to display body roll when going around curves and corners, leaning toward the outside of the curve/turn you are driving. This lean effectively shifts the balance of the vehicle, reduces tire contact patch in the inside tires, and reduces traction. When pushed too hard this can also lead to understeer where the car just refuses to turn in the direction you are steering it. Upgrading to beefier swaybars helps reduce the lateral body roll, serving to help keep the car flatter on the road. This keeps the balance of the car more centered (and lower) and maximizes tire contact patch and ultimately traction. The sum of all of this is the car is more responsive when turning. Since there is no change to the springs or struts (the vertical part of the suspension), there is no change in how the car actually rides driving down a straight road - it is not any more stiff, rigid, or bumpy. Swaybars are extremely popular among racers (whether road course or auto-cross) to help them through corners faster. But even on a daily driver car, navigating traffic is much more predictable and precise as the car shows less weight shift when changing lanes or navigating turns.
