Default Karcepts Quick Adjust Front & Rear Sway Bar Kits

Karcepts S2000 Front Sway Bar Kit:
$675 Shipped in the Continental U.S.

Designed specifically for track/autocross use, this sway bar kit offers zero compromises:
  • Billet aluminum arms optimized for strength and weight utilizing the latest FEA software
  • Like a blade style sway bar, roll stiffness can be adjusted quickly, and with one wrench
  • Unlike a blade style sway bar, adjustments are finite, with no possibility of slipping position
  • Rate adjustments are made with the vehicle on the ground, even at low ride heights
  • 6 adjustment positions per sway bar arm
  • Light weight, zero deflection solid sway bar mounts provided for precise feel
  • Low friction, lubrication free, dirt resistant, solid polymer bearings require no maintenance
  • Heat treated and plated steel alloy PTFE lined endlinks and all hardware included
  • 32mm (1.25") diameter high-grade spring steel splined center section for consistent rates
  • Center section available in many different wall thicknesses
  • Stiffest setting yields 11% more angular twist on a given center section compared to any other splined style S2000 front sway bar on the market
NOTE: Brake line mounting brackets, remote reservoir lines, nitrogen fill connections, and any other potential obstructions mounted inboard of the shock body will prohibit the quick adjustment feature of this sway bar kit. OEM shocks, Koni Sport shocks, and any other shocks with OEM style brake line mounting brackets can still retain quick adjustment functionality when swapping the left shock to the right side, and vice versa (effectively eliminating the interference without having to grind off the brake line brackets completely). Please consult us before purchasing if you have any concerns with achieving quick adjustment for your application.

Confirmed quick adjustment with the following dampers: JRZ RS One, JRZ RS Two, JRZ RS Pro (w/ reservoir lines facing outward), Moton Clubsport (w/ reservoir lines facing forward), MCS 2-Way (w/ reservoir lines facing forward), Koni 3011 (w/ nitrogen fill connections facing outward), KW V3 & KW Clubsport (brake line brackets will need to be bent and sway bar arm installation position may require adjustment), Ohlins R&T/DFV (sway bar arm installation position may require adjustment), Penske 8300, Koni Sport (w/ left and right shocks swapped), OEM (w/ left and right shocks swapped)

We highly recommend starting with either the 0.188" (ideal for SCCA BS trim) or 0.250" (ideal for SCCA STR trim) wall center section. Alternate center sections may be purchased. Choose the "Conversion Kit" option for a full kit minus the center section. The Conversion Kit is for those who currently own a splined style S2000 front sway bar kit wishing to upgrade to our light weight, quick adjust billet aluminum arms and mounts. The donor center section must be 1.25" diameter, have 48 spline ends, and have a length of 36".

Karcepts S2000 Rear Sway Bar Kit:
$375 Shipped in the Continental U.S.

The Karcepts S2000 Rear Sway Bar Kit was designed specifically for square tire setups, but may additionally be used by anyone looking to tame down the on-throttle oversteer characteristics of their S2000. The large OEM rear S2000 sway bar is fun to drift around, but is not always the quickest way around course. This sway bar kit achieves near OEM stiffness on it's full stiff setting, yet allows you to soften the rear bar tremendously. The ability to run a softer rear bar still maintains mid-corner rotation benefits, yet helps put power down better by eliminating too much on-throttle oversteer. With 7 available stiffness settings, the perfect compromise can be found for every driving style.
  • Billet aluminum arms optimized for strength and weight utilizing the latest FEA software
  • Like a blade style sway bar, roll stiffness can be adjusted quickly, and with one wrench
  • Unlike a blade style sway bar, adjustments are finite, with no possibility of slipping position
  • Rate adjustments are made with the vehicle on the ground, even at low ride heights
  • 7 adjustment positions per sway bar arm

  • Low friction, lubrication free, dirt resistant, solid polymer bearings require no maintenance

I have both front and rear bars. I'm 100% satisfied with them and recommend them to all my s2k racer friends. Top notch engineered bars along with top notch customer service makes this a no brainer.
