Can anyone tell me if the rear sway bar for a 2010 3.5 is any larger than a 2.5 and are they interchangable? I want to increase the size of the stock bar for better handling, but don't want to get crazy. I don't want the ride to suffer. The Racingline bar looks to be too much and I am not sure if the Stillen model is any bigger since it uses the same mounts. ANy insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The stillen is the same size (roughly) as the SE/SR sway bar but is solid and not hollow like the OEM. The RL bar is also solid, a stronger material, larger than the stillen, and adjustable. Both will work well for your application and you can't go wrong with either as far a an upgrade goes. But the RL will perform better and I have yet to receive a complaint that the RL swaybar created an uncomfortable ride.

Hope that helps you decide

Just my F*****g. I have been waiting to purchase the sway bar from RL. I asked my son(s) to get it for me for fathers day. Now the price went back up! If I can still get it for the sale price I will probabaly have them order it. If not, I will have to settle for the SE bar. :(

I got the rear sway bar from stillen, didnt know their were different options. All I know is I noticed a hell of alot more difference with the sway bar performance wise compared to lowering springs... disregaurd the pic its a few years old.
