Please contribute swaybar dimensions.

These are a few I have. The results from the calculator were surprising and suspect.
The fiero bar shape seems ideal for narrow saddles and wide attachment on the control arms for a better motion ratio.
Jeep is pretty good too, since the links could be single shear outboard for a wider attachment.

In what way? If the bars are hollow but you don't know or include the wall thickness or ID, that would account for some significant discrepancies.

I guess they aren't. I just expected a bigger diff between the ram and the fiero. The ram bar is heavy and massive. All these bars are solid. Value is approx anyway.

The van bar arms are so long due to the bulky steering system in the way.

Here is another.
