The Pfadt Corvette Johnny O'Connell Sway Bars are designed to offer superb balance, simple adjustability, reduced body roll and increased cornering grip. Drawing from our years of testing and development on our Racing Series of sway bars, together with Johnny O'Connell's decades of racing development experience, we have created a sway bar package that is engineered for the Corvette enthusiast that is looking for the best handling improvement for the dollar.
By increasing the sway bar rate of the Corvette we have reduced the body roll creating a more stable platform with improved steering response. We have also, invested considerable time to develop sway bars that are balanced to increase cornering grip while making the Corvette easier to drive at the limit. This gives you the confidence to carry more speed into the corners knowing that the car will be predictable and controllable at the limit.
These Sway bars all come in Competition Yellow powdercoating! Just what Johnny ordered! These Sway Bars will work for all models of C5/C6 Corvettes
To illustrate these differences in overall rate and the balance between the front and rear sway bars see this chart which compares many different sway bar packages.
