aFe Control Front & Rear Adjustable Sway Bar Set (440-401008-L) - 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette
Improve cornering stability, steering response, and handling balance in your 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette with the aFe Control Front & Rear Sway Bar Set. Engineered specifically for the C8's mid-engine platform, this suspension upgrade features lightweight tubular steel construction, three adjustment positions at both the front and rear, and premium billet aluminum mounting brackets.
The C8 Corvette delivers impressive traction when accelerating out of corners, but its factory suspension can exhibit understeer, body roll, and less responsive steering when pushed hard. The aFe Control sway bar set addresses these characteristics by increasing roll resistance and allowing drivers to fine-tune the vehicle's handling balance for street, autocross, and road course driving.
Adjustable Handling for the C8 Corvette
Both sway bars feature three adjustment positions, allowing drivers to change front and rear roll stiffness independently. This adjustability makes it possible to fine-tune handling balance, reduce understeer, and improve vehicle response through corners.
Whether you're looking for greater stability on a road course, improved rotation during autocross events, or more responsive handling on winding roads, the adjustable design provides flexibility for different driving conditions.
35mm Front Sway Bar with 3-Way Adjustment
The front sway bar measures 35mm (1.375 inches) in diameter and features three adjustment positions. Each setting provides a different level of roll resistance, allowing drivers to select the desired front suspension response.
- Position 1: 720 lbs/in - 50% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
- Position 2: 845 lbs/in - 76% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
- Position 3: 970 lbs/in - 103% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
The increased front roll resistance helps reduce body roll and sharpen steering response during initial turn-in.
35mm Rear Sway Bar with 3-Way Adjustment
The rear sway bar also measures 35mm (1.375 inches) in diameter and offers three adjustment positions for precise rear suspension tuning.
- Position 1: 600 lbs/in - 100% stiffer than stock Z51
- Position 2: 680 lbs/in - 127% stiffer than stock Z51
- Position 3: 780 lbs/in - 160% stiffer than stock Z51
Adjusting rear roll resistance allows drivers to influence the Corvette's handling balance and improve rotation through corners. Combined with the adjustable front sway bar, the system provides a wide range of suspension tuning options.
Lightweight CNC-Bent 1026 DOM Steel Construction
Both sway bars are manufactured from lightweight tubular 1026 DOM steel for strength and durability. Each bar is CAD-designed and CNC-bent to strict tolerances for precise vehicle fitment and consistent operation.
A durable blue powder coat finish protects the sway bars while providing a distinctive appearance.
Precision-Machined Sway Bar Ends
The front sway bar features CNC-machined ends, while the rear sway bar utilizes CNC laser-cut end plates.
These components are TIG-welded to the sway bars in dedicated fixtures to ensure accurate adjustment hole positioning and consistent manufacturing quality.
6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Mounting Brackets
The aFe Control sway bar set includes premium CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum mounting brackets for both the front and rear sway bars.
Finished in black anodizing, the brackets feature integrated grease fittings that allow for convenient lubrication and maintenance.
90A Durometer Polyurethane Bushings
Low-deflection 90A durometer polyurethane bushings are included to provide a firm, responsive connection between the sway bars and mounting brackets.
These bushings help maintain consistent sway bar operation while supporting precise suspension response during cornering.
Direct-Fit Installation
The aFe Control Front & Rear Sway Bar Set is designed specifically for the C8 Corvette and installs without requiring vehicle modifications.
Manufactured in the USA, this suspension package combines adjustable handling performance with precision-engineered components and durable construction.
