Swaybar Listing - Page 3 - Focaljet

**theartist** · 04-09-2006, 02:06 PM

Thanks so much man. I just aquired svt sway bars for my 06 zx3 and was curious if they shared the same front bar, or if it was different.

**cornercarverzx5** · 06-05-2006, 10:36 AM

Is the Intrax kit the same as the Eibach kit? (they are the same size) Or does it at least perform as well?

**DisrupTer911** · 06-07-2006, 02:16 PM

I believe the intrax bars are rebadged eibach bars.

regardless. if both bars are the same, diameter, and solid or hollow tubing, both will act the same.

**Black'02SVT** · 06-15-2006, 01:50 AM

In looking at sway bar bushings for my '02 SVT I noticed a discrepancy in front swaybar sizes on the SVT site.

My notes (not sure the original source) had a 22mm bar. This sticky and the SVT site says 21mm. My owner's guide says 21mm. When I compared '02-'04 on the SVT site, it shows that the '03-'04 has 22mm. Are there 2 different sizes?

**seanmc** · 07-07-2006, 04:59 PM

Could we add Auto-X ZTS's adjustable rear bar to this list? It's a well-made piece by Saner, and available through Auto-X ZTS himself.

IIRC, it's a 'natural' 24mm bar, with adjustment that will give you the equivalent of a 22.5 and 25mm bar. Price is very good, too.

I'd bet big dollars it is a typo, but the quickest way to find out is to take a pair of calipers to a 03-04.

Here are the ford part numbers for the swaybars if this helps anyone.

2000-2004 ZX3/ZX5/SE Zetec/ZTS + 2005-06 SES:
F: 21mm (3s4z 5482-aa)
R: 20mm (ys4z 5a772-aa)

2000-2004 SPI + 2005-05 ZX3/ZX4/ZX5 S, SE:
F: 18mm (3s4z 5482-ba)
R: None

SVT + S2 + Street Edition(Sedan) + 05-06 ZX4 ST:
F: 21mm (1s4z 5482-ca)
R: 21mm (1s4z 5a772-ba)

If you want the bushing and endlink numbers to let me know.

**xalexakaspyderx** · 08-23-2006, 11:45 PM

Being as I own an '06 s ZX3, if I wanted to I could just order all teh parts to install the SES 20mm in the rear and upgrade my front with the 21 mm SES also?

**DisrupTer911** · 10-09-2006, 03:40 PM

no, you'll need to construct clamps or purchase buscuitninjas clamps to attach teh rear sway to the subframe of an 05+ model

No my question was about using the 06 ST or SES version of the sway bar from teh same year. Guess I should have made it more clear.

**DisrupTer911** · 10-10-2006, 05:42 PM

unless your 05+ model currently has a rear sway bar, which only the SES and ST have factory rear bars...you'll need to build or buy clamps for it since the 05+ rear subframes don't all have accomodations for the bars.

**michalegraves6** · 10-10-2006, 08:47 PM

Didn't realize they used different rear subframes

**PhocusZX3** · 10-10-2006, 09:39 PM

Or buy the FRPP adjustable subframe to gain mounts for a sway bar and add rear camber adjustment. I know with your connections at Ford you can get it for around $180-190.

**Heathen 2.0** · 10-15-2006, 09:10 PM

Assuming I'm putting these (21mm front and 20mm rear) on an '01 ZX3 with otherwise stock suspension, would anyone recommend a particular brand? I notice further up someone said "Don't go with Marcy", hence my curiosity.

Also, would anyone suggest sizes other than the ones listed above? This will primarily be a daily driver, so nothing extreme.

**DisrupTer911** · 10-16-2006, 05:15 PM

factory bars are 21mm front / 20mm rear.

Anyone have a brand recommendation (or brands to flat-out avoid)?

I notice, for instance, Eibach has a different sized set for the Focus on their site, and no listing at all for the 21/20 bars. I'm guessing they make them, but don't show them on the site (for whatever reason). Is this pretty much the case with any manufacturer?

Sorry to keep poking, but I want to make sure I'm doing stuff right the first time.

**DisrupTer911** · 10-16-2006, 07:15 PM

the factory sway bars, that come on your car from teh dealer are 21mm front / 20 mm rear.

there aren't any aftermarket bars in that size.

**Heathen 2.0** · 10-16-2006, 08:17 PM

**tfdmissmatch** · 10-25-2006, 04:09 PM

Can I swap my SPI front sway for the SVT front sway or would I be better off going with a heftier aftermarket one from the likes of Eibach or H&R?

**SuperFlea** · 10-25-2006, 05:14 PM

The SVT bars are actually pretty good, but if you're going crazy (which i really doubt), get a set of Eibach's.

**ahmadr** · 01-13-2007, 12:11 AM

For reference, in the 08 announcement, it is stated the front sway bar diameters on the 08+ have changed:
15" wheels (no rear bar?): 18mm -> 20mm
16" wheels (??mm rear bar?): 21mm -> 22mm

**cornercarverzx5** · 02-06-2007, 05:51 PM

With a stock front swaybar that is a daily driver but also sees a bit of track, would a 25 or 24mm bar be ok?

I never see snow since I live in florida, but I do see alot of rain which makes auto-x's adjustable bar look tempting, does anyone know anything about the quality or where to get one.
