I'm not sure where godspeed has their stuff made, or what material they use. Although I know that most reputable brands use chromoly for sway bars which has higher tensile and yield strength than your lower grade steels that may bend without springing back to shape. I dont think godspeed uses chromoly steel.


Actually, they claim they are chromoly. From the eBay vendor auction:


FRONT SWAY BAR:
  • 22mm solid chromoly front sway bar
  • Performance urethane sway bar bushing
  • 40% stiffer than OEM/stock = dramatically improves handling by reducing understeer
  • Perfect for auto-cross & race use.
  • 100% direct bolt on, OEM location
  • No adjustment needed
  • Lifetime warranty
REAR SWAY BAR:
  • 18mm solid chromoly rear sway bar
  • Performance sway bar bushing
  • 40% stiffer than OEM/stock = dramatically improves handling by reducing understeer
  • Perfect for auto-cross & race use.
  • 100% direct bolt on, OEM location
  • No adjustament needed
  • Lifetime warranty


For @120 bucks, shipped, if they bolt on without any modifications needed, I'll consider that a win. They are sized correctly to keep the overall balance about the same, and they're moderately sized so that they should still work well with OEM spring/shock rates. That's assuming they don't turn into Twizzlers...
