Purchased for $100 shipped. Awaiting item for review.

 

installed a Saner bar a couple weeks ago. WOW, what a difference in handling & stability! my S was borderline unsafe w/out it. i felt so uneasy driving it that i had soccer moms in SUVs and joe schmoes in stock accords bullying me on backroads & twisties.

granted, i dialed in my buddy club coilovers a lil more by raising the height, adjusting pre-load & damping, but it's a night & day difference w/the Saner! best $$$ i've spent on my S so far! now, jist need to do a lil more fine tuning & get another alignment. guy that did my current one took out all the toe because i told him i wanted better tire wear (ate thru mu rear Pilot Super Sports in less than 7k miles) rear end was ULTRA twitchy, but the Saner has tamed things a bit. ride quality is noticeably more harsh up front now tho. i'm on the saner's softest setting too.

 

so, how is it?

 

I should have the revised sway bar available in a few weeks. Just started production on the first batch!

 

Definitely interested in purchasing the front swaybar with endlinks, and brackets. Any update on availability?

 

It's for $80 shipped on Amazon now.

They are saying 40% stiffer than stock. But are they comparing it to the MY00 bar which is the stiffest at 393 lb/in? If so, this thing ought to be 550 lb/in. My math which compared two identical bars at 28.5mm and 30.5mm though only resulted in about 520 lb/in. Don't know about material differences etc.

EDIT - I installed this last night. Fit perfectly. Used stock endlinks and it all lined up including bushings etc. Roll stiffness feels significantly stronger. For $80 compared to $350+ elsewhere, lol.

It measured 1.21" OD while the one I removed (stock?) measured 1.06".

 

Anyone use the Tanabe front sway???

 

There is no shortage of anti-roll bars. The question to ask: what is your application? Also note that availability has changed over the nearly 16 years since the S2000 was introduced.

The top 3 probably have an autocross origin and use a spined torsion bar: Karcepts, Gendron, and Ankeny, Ankeny used a blade that makes a very quick under car adjustment if a bit harder to figure out what that adjustment is. Blades are used on many race cars because they provide a way for cockpits adjustments. Gendron and Karcepts use arms with Karcepts having a unique design for easy adjustment. I have the Karcepts, a work of art. Many if not most of the top autocross S2000s in A/Street, B/Street, and STR use one of these three bars. These bars have the broadest range of adjustment and the Karcepts and Gendron have different center sections available. Karcepts charges $150 of the spined bar and has it in .120", .188", .250" wall thicknesses and solid. I think they even have a stiffer bar than that.

The next group are bent bars similar to stock with adjustability through multiple holes. The Moddiction is the current version of the Saner bar, one of the popular bar since the S2k was the new kid on the block. It is just over half the price of the Karcepts.

I have no knowledge of the Godspeed. It isn't adjustable. It is 30.4mm in diameter according to their website.

There should be a variety of Japanese bars...haven't heard them mentioned much.

 

anyone here that has used the Tanabe front sway?

 

I know that aftermarket front sway bars are permitted in B-Street but what about aftermarket endlinks??? Are those allowed as well?
