Pfadt Race Engineering Sport Sway Bars

Pfadt Race Engineering is proud to add the Sport Sway Bars to our 2010 Camaro product offering!

Install our Pfadt Sport Bars on your Camaro and you'll immediately feel more planted and in control! We've built our reputation on engineering well-balanced, performance minded suspension products and these sway bars hit the mark.



Made in the USA of high strength steel, our bars provide the proper rate of roll stiffness and balance. Our sway bars will inspire confidence and keep you in control for the ultimate driving experience.

Understeer and the 2010 Camaro

The Pfadt Camaro sway bars required major engineering changes from the factory bar package to eliminate the notorious understeer. Basic vehicle dynamics say in order to eliminate understeer you must increase the roll stiffness in the rear of the car - our rear bar does exactly that. That's how we’ve achieve such great balance. If a sway bar package offers huge increases in the roll stiffness of the front bar, your Camaro is going to suffer from increased understeer compared to the OEM sway bars!

We have developed a package that is the best on the market because we engineer our bars for each specific vehicle application. We start from a blanket sheet of paper for every suspension package and we thoroughly track tested our bars to obtain the ultimate balance.



Our rear bar offers three point 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 perfect the handling.

We include Graphite-impregnated Greasable Sway Bar Bushings and brackets that include the grease zerks for a complete installation.

• Eliminates understeer by providing proper balance
• Enables fine-tuning with rear adjustment for street or track
• Increases performance by reducing body roll and increasing steering response
• Easy installation with basic hand tools

For the ultimate installation, check out our Heavy Duty Endlinks!


The Sport Sways will ship the first week of September! Please feel free to call or email us with questions!

how does a kit like yours differ from something like Hotchkis or Eibach?

Based on what I've seen the 2 above mentioned companies have basically taken the OEM bars and made them stiffer maintaining the front to rear rates or ratio. What this means is they took the factory sways and multiplied the rates by a number and that is it. The problem with that is it doesn't correct the poor factory balance and in some cases the understeer is worsened.

We've tested the Camaro on the race track in it's stock form and based on the information we've obtained we developed our bar package. In our system the rear bar was stiffened considerably more compared to the front bar; this effectively makes the car rotate much better while reducing the overall body roll.

Pfadt Race Engineering is well known in the Corvette community and our sway bar packages took all of the podium positions at NASA Nationals last year. We pride ourselves on engineering great solutions and we only produce products that make a performance difference.

Please feel free to call or email us anytime with questions.

I wanted to Embed the video but I couldn't so here is a link. This test was completed with sway bars only. Nothing else was done to the car!
