Re: factory color of sway bar and brackets

The front sway bars were painted/factory powdercoated in semi-gloss black. The front sway bar brackets were just bare metal which started to rust from day one giving them a dark brown rusty color over the years.

IIRC, the rear sway bars were bare metal (not painted), but the brackets were either uncoated natural steel or semi-gloss black if it was a G92/WS6 suspension package. Most BW 9-bolt rear axle cars that I've seen had the black rear sway bar brackets.

I believe that the original sway bar is as described, with Semi-gloss powdercoat.

I believe my rear sway bar brackets were originally gold annodized coated... I did end up powdercoating them Black tho...

I am going off of a 36K mile car...
