Can't say absolutely; maybe someone else will chime in.
But I don't recall anyone commenting on a spec change... just color.

Did you find some used ones???

It is only the color that is different. Because Stillen is a marketing company that market and private labels parts that their supliers actually make, these sways were first made by the suplier (name witheld) in a golden yellow at first, and now they are finished in red. They have the same specs.

I seem to remember seeing a video of the sway bars being produced with this variable bending machine. Quite slick actually. It was also at stillen if I'm not mistaken...

To answer original question; no difference except color. To VRT guy:
Actually Stillen owns the supplier of the swaybars as well so that marketing and private labeling info you provided is incorrect. ....you are probably thinking Stillen is getting them from Eibach, which they are not. Almost all items w/ Stillen logo are made in house.

bump for this question:.....i ordered Energy Bushings from Summit racing for the front and rear sway bar....now i've been reading not to bother with the front bushings and reuse the OEM bushings because they won't fit or something like that, when i remove those front sway bushings should i lube them again or just throw them on. Also im using rhino ramps to lift the front should be fine correct?
Another question: For the rear (and front) should i buy endlink bushings or will it be fine without (i dont want any creaking). Rear i also will be using rhino ramps since i doubt it is necessary -correct me if im wrong- to remove the rear passenger wheel to remove the sway bar.

thanks for the help. if bushings come today pics will go up tomoro
