sway bar question

[rokierx1]

i was wondering if anyone new what the diameter of a 2007 apex's sway bar is? also will the bar and links bolt into a 2003 rx1? would this be an upgrade or should i just bite the bullet and go with the pioneer 13mm.....75 bucks for apex set up compared to 300...

 

[mbarclay]

i thought the pioneer was like $90?

2003 need bushings and links around 300 for everthing. i mjust read on here that all 4 strokes come with 11mm sway bars stock????

What's in my stock warrior is'nt anywhere near 11mm(allot smaller), The oem part number between my warrior and a 2007 apex gt is the same, but not the same as a 03rx1.

The part you see on the outside isn't how thick it is the rest of the length, its considerably narrower just past the oem bushings, pull yours out you will see. I think you will get away with just a bar swap, 11mm. If you go to the12 or 13mm you will need the stabilizer arms and bushings... still under $200 though.

I just bought the Pioneer 13mm bar, bushings and links for my 03 RX1 from a Canadian distributor for $227 CDN including all taxes and shipping. You should be able to get it cheaper than that in the US.

buy the 13mm and links...don't sweat the price, well worth every penny.

03 needs the links as they no longer make an aftermarket that takes the 03 links. i love my 13mm swaybar. really made it level out in the corners.

Yeah it is 11mm. Unless you got it used and someone switched it for an 03 10mm bar, that is. You sure you know how big an mm is? 13mm=1/2" and is smaller than the shaft END.

To fit an 04+ bar in an 03 requires links and bushings in addition to the bar.

Doh your right, It looked so tiny the other day.

 

[LazyBastard]

Reason I never much liked metric... its hard to judge sizes because all the units are retarded sizes.

 

[jd0270]

so something like 31/64's isn't retarted Metric's fine, but I prefer thousands of an inch in any precision measurements.

 

[rxrider]

It's possible measure in 1/1000 of a millimeter if you have the right tool I'm off topic and knows it LOL

 

[rokierx1]

your right yammi, 168 from pioneer! springs are 100 so 268 for flatness

 

[rx1ryda989]

The springs are a must also... bite the bullet, pay the coin and enjoy railing those turns this winter.
