From their site, currently:
I'm guessing the 15% was left over from the previous numbers, since it works in 5 steps with 13.6% (close enough to 15%) changes. With these new numbers it would be more like 19.4% per. Could be they were using some sort of successive "each adjustment point is x% stiffer than the previous" but I don't want to do that much math and find out...

Only thing I know for sure is that the prototype bar worked. If the design stiffness has changed from that point I'm going to be a bit upset, because that's the info I used to make my purchase. The only issue I understood there to be with the bar was that of the end links rubbing on the shocks, which I have been told is resolved.

Guess we'll find out soon...

I sent 'em an email the other day and the response was that the current percentages are correct. Based on other folks' computations it appears that the first one or two settings would equal the Mugen bar (the calcs show ~34% stiffer than stock).

No info on release date - mine is on order...

So, Comptech is taking money and orders for the new bar?

jguerdat

All I can say is that I ordered via the net and got an email verification. Their emails have not indicated that they're not taking orders yet but I haven't asked.

BTW, I edited my response above while you were posting - I put in a stiffness calculation, in case you care...

I called a few weeks ago and placed mine over the phone. So they are taking orders. The word from Mike at that time was the bars were at the powdercoater and they were finalizing the endlink issue. I'd say they be shipping sooner rather than later!

S2R

those that have the mugen sway bar and have race tires, are you guys running 205s or 225s up front?

vmb

does anyone who's getting the Comptech want to sell their used sway bar? (non-stock) I don't think I'm at the point where I'll be able to tell the difference between Mugen and Comptech yet. But I'm planning to be a bit more serious this year

Mack

S2R-

I think most of us are running 225's fr 245's rear although some have used 265's w/ the stock bar.

S2R

225's with a stock sway bar or a mugen sway bar?
