Please Mod, could we get a track dedicated sub-forum. Thanks
Overall all three companies produce high-quality parts. To be honest, I can't tell much difference of these parts made within the legal limits of street driving. The only time I could tell that the car behavior differently is when I was pushing a bit on the twisting roads of Page Mill/Skyline/Big Basin. With the rear sway set at medium and front at soft (thanks @isaax for the recommendation), there is more eagerness for the rear to rotate in tight sweepers. The real test comes when the car is on track. One thing I could possible validate is how these parts bling out the underside of my car.
Big thanks to @SD_Engnr for sharing the right Whiteline end_links and sharing his knowledge on suspension setup.
All three of these parts are relative to install and/or comes with good installation instructions, so I will only add insights and tips.
For some reason, @UnpluggedP installation instruction is not visible from their product page. A quick web search located a separate page with the instruction. Here is the link - model 3 sway bar installation guide - Unplugged Performance
Here is the specification from UPP product page.
Tesla standard 29mm front sway bar rate: 650 lbs/in
Unplugged Performance 31.8mm front sway bar rate soft: 720 lbs/in
Unplugged Performance 31.8mm front sway bar rate medium: 870 lbs/in
Unplugged Performance 31.8mm front sway bar rate firm: 1050 lbs/in
Rear
Tesla standard(none Performance) 16mm rear sway bar rate: 40 lbs/in
Tesla Performance 20mm, rate ???
Unplugged Performance 22mm rear sway bar rate soft: 114 lbs/in
Unplugged Performance 22mm rear sway bar rate medium: 130 lbs/in
Unplugged Performance 22mm rear sway bar rate firm: 150 lbs/in
UPP at this time does not have a torque spec for stock P rear bar. Given stock P bar is 20mm instead of 16mm, its toque force will be somewhere in between the 40lbs/in and 114lbs/in, perhaps it is around 80~100lbs/in. With this guestimation, it is easy to see with UPP sways bars, the rear will have a slightly higher increase rate compared to the front.
Front bar comparison. Both front and rear UPP bar have the bushing guide, a big plus.
Rear bar set at the softest setting.
