Who's bought a non whiteline sway bar for the LC?

Now that Whiteline no longer makes rear sway bars for the LC, has anyone bought one from a different company?

The only 2 I've found are Ultra Racing and PASports

Does anyone own either of these?

Don't get me wrong i have a rear sway bar from whiteline and it made the biggest difference in performance/feel on my car.

But man paying 250$ for a piece of steel is just something i cannot understand.

I got mine used for 50$ and new poly bushings for free.

Good job i've never found anyone else but whiteline for sway bars.

You could phone/email them ask for specs such as weight/bar diameter and so on then compare to whiteline as they have all the detailed specs on their site.

Does Whiteline have a history of selling its designs to other companies? The rear bars from PASports and Ultra Racing are both 19mm non-adjustable but I have no idea if they're actually identical. What I don't get is why they're twice as much as the Whiteline bars used to be.

The Whiteline bars were expensive also.

The Whiteline bars I've seen for other cars are 140-200, as opposed to the 300-350 these guys are asking.

For the Accent they were $300-$350 shipped.

at neverenoughauto.com all whiteline bars are under 200, and shipping is about 20. I actually ordered a whiteline adjustable from them, total was $233 Canadian after shipping but they were already out of stock. They gave me a full refund within a couple of days though.

Hmm, never saw one anywhere close to that cheap. Maybe Whiteline changed something and lowered prices across the board when they dropped a bunch of cars like the Accent.

On the whiteline site, the 27mm adjustable for an '09 Mustang is 219US, and I can't imagine they get more expensive than that. They've also added the 00-03 accents back into their system, but they only have strut tower bars.
