I see pioneer performance is selling 12 and 13mm swaybars for the warrior! Claiming better cornering and stiffer ride!

Anyone have one of these or have any thoughts on them?? There only $90
 
Hey there Welter...I had the 11mm and the 12mm, Straight Rate Springs AND the longer links. I tried everything with all combinations. After everything, I liked the 12mm on its own with SR springs much better than the 11mm with the links. It is probably the best performace gain for the $$. I have heard alot of guys say that they didn't have alot of luck with the 11mm/links and to be honest, neither did I. The 12mm keeps the front flatter but remeber....in order to keep the front flatter it also becomes much stiffer so you lose that forgiving feeling in the front end.

Judging by the difference between the 11 and the 12...The 12mm is probably plenty. I think the 13mm would be too stiff.

THanks for the reply!.. I feel that the front ends arent stiff enought.. My sled has way too much nose dive going into corners and causes it to want to roll or ski lift. You really notice it when you are going down hill and have to make a sharp turn at the same time.. (this is where the weight comes into play!!
 
I put on the 12m on my Warror and it made a big difference. Then I put on the heavier springs that they have, even better got rid of all the spungy fealing and could ride it even harder. Later on in the season I got the wide front end and look out. You don't even know you're riding a long track. It handles awsome.
 
I like stock swaybar longer links and the 2.1 kg straight springs,thats works great.
