Cool SakeBomb Garage Competition Billet Sway Bar Mounts

Competition Billet Sway Bar Mounts are Now Available from SakeBomb Garage!

Introducing our new Competition Billet Sway Bar Mounts! These mounts provide an enormous upgrade to your FD's handling potential, for either OEM or aftermarket sway bars. The stock welded sheet metal mounts flex severely, providing barely enough support for the existingsway bars. When upgrading to a stiffer, aftermarket sway bar, this problem becomes magnified, limiting the stability of your front end by creating a structural weakness.

Product Highlights:
  • Full Billet Aluminum Construction - with mil-spec hard anodized finish to last forever!
  • Lateral Load Clips - reinforce the stability of the mounts even further by clamping to the pinch welds, with beefy m8 bolts
  • Increased Hardware Size vs OEM - stock sway bar bolts are m8, however we've moved to stout m10 high-strength bolts to eliminate flex
  • Shortened for lowered cars (1-1.5" at the wheels) to optimally align sway bar
  • Stock-height spacer available for stock-height cars - for a direct OEM replacement
  • Extremely stable sway bar mounting even for the most extreme aftermarket bars, no additional reinforcements needed!
  • V-mount, and V8 swap compatible - aluminum radiator mount is removable for non-standard radiator mounting

Stiffens Stock Front End, and Allows the Full Utilization of Aftermarket Sway Bars!

Our solution provides a robust mounting bracket, which in effect stiffens your stock sway bar, by removing the uncontrolled flex from the equation. This also allows for the installation of much heavier sway bars and their effective utilization, without being compromised by a flawed mounting platform.

A Perfect Solution for Stock Height, and Lowered FD's!

A solution to one of the fundamental problems of the FD chassis is now available at special introductory prices from SakeBomb Garage. See our Product Page for more details.

Dimensions would be nice to see.
Currently I have widefoot mounts and had to add a spacer.
My FD is lowered, about 1 inch at most.
The spacer gets the bar low enough the so the arms don't hit the tie rods.
Sway bar is a TriPoint, but the same thing happened with a 1 piece bar.
On uneven surfaces the heads of attaching bolts have at times been ground off by the pavement, so getting the height right is important.

This FD is strictly autox, so it does get driven rather hard.

These mounts would be cool if it allowed me to not use a spacer.

The tripoint swaybar setup poses specific fitment issues with "similar" swaybar mounts.
You should check into this, especially if you're designing your own blade style sway bars.

fwiw...

I run a v-mount IC setup which means that I did not run the bracket for the stock radiator mounts. Because of this, I also had to add a spacer to the Widefoot mounts so that the regular style sway bar doesn't contact the tie rods when turning. I have an old thread or post on the subject from back in the day.

I think the people running the Tri-Point style sway bar had a similar but different issue that also required a spacer.

YMMV I suppose...

Also a V-Mount.

I have considered designing my own blades, just hasn't been the top priority on the old to-do list.

We've had no issues with these mounts and standard solid/tubular style bars. Spline drive bars are not our favorites for a few reasons... wider ends, potential slipping on the spline drive, no significant weight advantage. There are very limited use cases for a spline drive bar... most of the time it's done because it is "easy" to make with no bends involved and you can grab a one size fits all bar. Lots of adjustment holes are nice, however with a properly manufacturered tubular bar you can do quite a few adjustment holes. We typically lean towards a fully formed tubular bar because of reduced form factor.

FB compatible?

Hi, I know this is a long shot but was wondering if you have sold any of these to FB body owners? I have a FB racecar and your mounts appear to give me more room to fit a larger radiator and superior sway bar mount/options.

Thx p

Haven't had an FB body customers on these, I can't guarantee fitment.
