NOW AVAILABLE: The Pfadt ZL-Spec Front and Rear Adjustable Sway
Bars!
New to the Camaro line-up is our Zl-Spec series of sway bars
avaialble for all of the 2012 + V8 Camaros! For all of you 2010 and
2011Camaro owners, there are options outlined below for upgrading
to the new suspension geometry from GM. Install our Pfadt ZL-Spec
Bars on your Camaro and you'll immediately feel more planted and in
control with a neutral balance! We've built our reputation on
engineering well-balanced, performance minded suspension products
and these sway bars hit the mark, now brining you FRONT and REAR
ADJUSTMENT that was previously only offered on the Racing Sway Bar
kit.
Made in the USA of high strength steel, our ZL Spec sway bars
provide excellent balance and will increase grip for your Camaro!
By working with the newest FE4 GM suspension design our sway bars
tune in a significant increase in stiffness over what was possible
with the previous generation of GM's suspension design in
2010-2013. Our sway bars will inspire confidence and keep you
planted for the ultimate driving experience without significantly
impacting ride quality.
Under-steer and the 2010 Camaro
All of our Pfadt Camaro sway bar kits require major engineering
revisions from the factory bar packages, with the primary goal of
eliminating the under-steer that the 5th Generation Camaro is
notorious for. Basic vehicle dynamics say that to eliminate
under-steer you must increase the roll stiffness in the rear of the
car - and our rear bar does exactly that. Increasing the rear sway
bar rate is part of how we achieve such great balance. Say for
instance a sway bar package offers huge increases in the stiffness
of the front bar with out increasing the rear appropriately, your
Camaro is going to suffer from increased under-steer compared to
the OEM sway bars!
The video below highlights some of the on-car testing that went
into our sway bars. This video is a demo to show how much you can
affect the balance of the car with simple sway bar changes. The day
we shot this video, we tested several packages which is a critical
part of proving our engineering before building the product.
Our sway bar packages are known for being the best available on
the market because we test and design for each specific vehicle we
make parts for, and the ZL Spec sway bars are no exception. We
start from a blank sheet of paper for every suspension package and
we thoroughly track test our bars to obtain the optimum
balance.
Our font and rear bars offer three points of adjustment to allow
you to fine tune the balance of your car to your tire package and
driving style. Whether you're on the street or at the track, you'll
have the adjustment you need to dial in perfect handling. The rear
bar is even adjusted without needing to fully disassemble! (see
graphic below) We include greasable graphite-impregnated
polyurethane bushings and new mounting brackets for a complete
installation.
By bringing your car up to Pfadt ZL Spec you will:
Eliminates under-steer by providing proper balance for predicable
handling
Combat body roll with the stiffest available sway bar package
without significantly impacting ride quality
Be equipped with the ability to fine-tune both front AND rear sway
bars for street and track
Improve performance by reducing body roll and increasing steering
response

alignment necessary
Pair the Sway Bars with our Drop Springs for the ultimate
suspension package.
