Chris,

Conduit pipe is meant to be bent easily and stay that way. If you made your
sway bars with this stuff. The first turn will twist them out of shape. Sway
bars are usually made of solid rod spring quality steel. Only recently did a
few manufacturers started using tubes for sway bars. When you twist them,
they are designed to spring back very close to the original shape they were
formed into.
