Comptech has a non-adjustable front sway bar they claim is 30% stiffer than stock. Or it is 31.5 mm thick for about $225 with the hardware. Does anyone have one of these? The adjustable one is $699, is there that much of a difference? I want a stiffer front bar to use with my 225/50s front victoracers. Saner bars seem like a great deal but i cant get an answer on the availability. I just added more neg camber to fronts -1.75 and rears -2.75. I havent had a chance to get to the track to try this set up, but i have been planning for a new front bar. Somebody posted yesterday that -1.5 and -2.5 made his car oversteer with the same sized tires thar i have. I would buy a saner bar but I kind of want it pretty quick. Any Advice would be helpful.

 

krazik has been trying his best to keep them in stock in the S2KI marketplace, but people keep sabotaging his plan by buying them all...

 

What's your intended use (track? autocross? street?), and what size are your rear tires?

In my opinion, for autocross, the nonadjustable Comptech bar will be insufficient for a car with 225/245 R-compound tires. One of the track junkies should chime in, but it might work better on the track (where the huge bars tend to induce too much push).

Mostly track use. No auto x, My rears are 245/45s

 

I've got one of Comptech's old prototype nonadjustable bars - 1.25", .250" wall IIRC.

Works great with 225/245 Kumhos or Hoosiers - on asphalt. Great for the track or autocross in San Diego, not stiff enough for Atwater or Topeka.

A 1.25" solid bar (Saner, Gendron) should be plenty anywhere.
