Default Gendron Sway Bar Dimensions

I am looking for the dims for the Gendron bar. I need the bar lengthm arm thickness, and distance from the bar centerline to the adjustment holes for the links.

I will post the results here for anyone interested. I am interested to compare the Gendron, Sanerm and comptech bars to the factory bars with real #'s - not percent stiffer claims,
Thanks

The length of the bar itself
Thickness of the arms
Distance from the centerline of the bar to the center of the first adjustment hole on the arm
distance between centers of the adjustment holes.

Thank you again!!

Glad to help...

Not sure if this gets you what you need but here are the data:

NOTE: the arms are not straight, they are bent. The distances between the 6 adjustment holes to the bar are as measured by a tape measure straight from the center of the hole to the center of the bar. All measurements are by my eye...so not exact.

Bar Length = 916mm (note there are two optional bars...one solid and one hollow)
Arm Thickness = 18mm
Distance from bar to:
Adj 1 = 165mm
Adj 2 = 207mm
Adj 3 = 235mm
Adj 4 = 248mm
Adj 5 = 270mm
Adj 6 = 281 mm

Note that the last 4 adjustment holes are two pairs close together.

Isn't the length of the bar related to the spline? So you'd need to know the length between the arms, wouldn't you or would it be from the middle of the arms?
