Kanter Sway Bars
Kanter sway bars are designed to reduce body roll and improve handling, particularly in classic muscle cars. Unlike some hollow factory bars, Kanter sway bars are solid steel, which provides a higher resistance to torsional forces for better stability and performance, even with the same bar diameter. The sway bars function like a torsion spring to resist the twisting motion that occurs when a vehicle corners, which helps to keep the car's body level and the tires firmly planted on the road, improving traction, which is crucial during fast cornering and hard launches. They're available in applications to fit the front or rear of the vehicle. Select the sway bars for your application needs.

Kanter Engine Valves
Kanter engine valves provide tangible gains in an engine's power, efficiency, and lifespan by strategically improving how air and fuel enter and exit the cylinder. Engine valves are one of the engine's most critical components, as they must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, hitting impacts and loads during their lifetime. Because the operating temperatures of the intake and exhaust valves are highly different, various materials, structures, and manufacturing methods are required and implemented for each type of valve. Kanter's valve lineup includes various processes, such as forging, machining, welding, nitriding, and specialty coatings, that provide strength and durability. Select the engine valves tailored for your application needs.

Kanter Coated Pistons
Kanter Auto offers coated engine pistons for hundreds of applications, including many Ford, Mercury, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Jeep, Willys, Chevrolet, Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Plymouth, Buick, Pontiac, and American Motors vehicles from the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and '70s. These cast aluminum replacements feature a high performance, anti-friction coating designed to extend engine life, reduce scuffing, and improve sealing. This coating is applied using an advanced process that minimizes blow-by and noise, especially during cold starts. The coating can be beneficial for classic and high performance vehicles, particularly those with a history of overheating, detonation, or scuffing. Benefits of coated pistons: * The anti-friction coating prevents the piston from scuffing against the cylinder wall, which is particularly helpful during cold starts when oil is not yet fully circulated * By reducing friction and wear, the coating helps to prolong the life of the piston and other engine components * The coating contributes to better cylinder sealing, leading to more efficient engine performance * The tighter clearances allowed by the coating help to reduce piston noise that can occur when an engine is cold * These pistons can be installed without modifying the existing cylinder wall clearance, making them a direct replacement in most cases
