That number also surprised me when I first calculated it at the track. So much so I went back to the same feature and verified my results. I reran the calculations and checked my numbers through excel and they came up the same.
I will start out with the Cusco (solid 32mm 175% stiffer then stock) then upgrade to a NASCAR /Small Fortune Racing style bar.
I have connections that allow me to make my own custom sway bars.
One thing that is over looked some times is it is possible to run to stiff of a bar up front and negatively effect handling. Bigger/stronger is not necessarily the best solution depends on the full setup of the car and the track design such as autox or road course.

Im thinking of going to a stiffer front bar to make the car a little more neutral since my AP1 has a slight tendancy to oversteer. Do I have that correct or backwards? I was under the impression that a stiffer front bar would allow for a more planted rear end, but I could be wrong.
Then again, maybe I will just save my money for when this kit is actually released. Can you at least give a worst case senario for a release date?

I used a Small Fortune Racing front sway bar on the medium stiff setting. I made a huge improvement on keeping the back end planted along with the alignment. Best $500 you can spend. I also DD my car so it isn't bad to keep on there. Go get one.

I think they are $595 now. I bought mine used from a guy in the for sale forum. I have talked with Bill Gendron a few times on the phone and he has great customer service.
