Second Houston Speed Freaks unit. It’s a great unit and super super overbuilt (which is a neat thing).

You'd thinks EVERY Mfg. would have a RED option.. after all everybody knows if you wanna go faster... buy the part in red!

Thanks all!

Have you considered performance in a can? Sand, Prime, and Paint the shade of red you desire. I did not want a bright blue anti-sway bar - Steeda supplied bright blue. I painted it grey since that was an innocuous color and I happened to have it on hand. Looks nice IMHO since I don't notice it.

My truck might be faster if I painted it red.

I wonder if that will stop it from rusting out like they all seem to do

They don’t “all seem to do” anything. There’s not a spec of rust on mine and I have one of the first ones they built.

Same here, mine is as blue as the day I first put it on. Utah is also a high road salt state.

There are several members complaining about rusting Steeda springs and sway bars. Just bc yours is fine doesn’t mean a ton of others don’t have quality issues

Heck I just saw a picture of someone’s strut bar rusting out, which I don’t know how it was doing that.

My Steeda sway bar and strut brace look great. My Steeda springs rusted in two years. Rears were pretty rusted, fronts not so bad. All light surface rust but ugly. Put Eibachs on and so far so good.
