try finding the thickness. Just take the perimeter by using a string and measuring the length if the string around the bar. Then use diameter=perimeter/3.14
See if it is even same size as the racing beat one. It might be a suspension technique.

HAS IT BEEN REPAINTED?

does it really matter who made it as long as it's the thickness you want?

the strut bar is 1.125 inches in diameter

racing beat= 1.125"
suspension techniques=1 1/8" (i think it is 1.125 also)
eibach=1.12" (28.5mm)

so it looks like it is either a RB sway or a ST, what do you guys think?

Sounds like a crap shoot, could be any of the above. When was your caliper last calibrated.? Mr non redneck technician?

UHHH! LMAO, **** if i know
i read it by the numbers on the bar part, not the dial......
oh well, i dont really care what brand it is, its obviosly a performance sway bar, and im sure it will make a difference over the stock one when it comes to cornering
