Description
Possibly the best value for money handling upgrade you can get, Sway Bars are often overlooked when upgrading the handling of your car.
Racing Beat-designed sway bars reduce chassis roll during cornering and increases your car’s sensitivity to steering inputs, thereby improving maximum cornering power. Substantial engineering effort, select steel alloys, and precise manufacturing processes are combined to produce top performance components.
The diameter of the RB front tubular bar is 1.25″ (32mm) x .1875″ wall thickness, as compared to the stock 1.05″ (27mm) x .134″ wall thickness front bar. An additional feature of the front bar is a pair of OEM style “stoppers” to prevent the bar from sliding sideways in the bar bushings during heavy cornering effort.
The diameter of the rear tubular bar is .75″ (19mm) x .125″ wall thickness, as compared to the stock .632″ (16mm) x .097″ wall thickness rear bar. An additional feature of the rear bar is a pair of OEM style “stoppers” to prevent the bar from sliding sideways in the bar bushings during heavy cornering effort.

During test sessions using racing beats Racelogic VBox GPS data acquisition system, we recorded noticeable handling improvements after the installation of the Racing Beat sway bar set. Using the stock wheel/tire/ combination on our 2004 RX-8, we recorded the following cornering forces:
Stock Bars: .86-.87g
Racing Beat Bars: .89-.90g
All Racing Beat sway bars are finished with a distinctive, red powder coating that provides a smooth, glossy protective layer. You can be assured of many years of superior handling performance with these proven bars!
