Default Sway Bars

Thinking about some front and rear sway bars.. Found these on eBay made by Godspeed.. I did a search on here for them, but didn't really find anything..

Anyone know anything about Godspeed? are these junk?

Don't skimp out on suspension parts. For about $75 more dollars you can get some respectable tried and true adjustable sways.

GodSpeed is designed after Tanabe. Basically a decent quality brand just like how Megan introduced themselves. GodSpeed is new to the market but has lifetime warranty to back up their parts. Only thing is there are no specs to know how stiff it is. But then again, that goes for Tanabe too, we only know that it's stiffer. If you were to mount GodSpeed up and then Tanabe sways, you won't really be able to tell the difference. Thats about all I can tell you about my experience with them.

There was this guy at the Inland race track that snapped his rear Whiteline sway bar. We thought he was going to flip because the sudden body roll was pretty bad when he was high speed drifting. He kept letting his steering angle slam the bump stop, so really he caused the stress on his suspension from allowing that to happen every single turn. It did quite a bit of damage because his rear wheel ended up tucking too deep and busted up his widebody. There is also a guy with an M3 that snapped his Hotchkis sway bar. Even the best of the brands have bad days. Though Godspeed is a fairly new brand, so was Megan. To get a name out on the market fast, make something decent yet affordable and put it on ebay. The Godspeeds are stiff. Even on soft springs like Hotckkis, there is little body roll at all. Which is exactly what I was looking for since the OEM sway bars are just too soft for any high speed G-force turns. For the price to performance ratio, I have no complaints. I don't think I'll ever break them.
