Default Opinions please

I'd like some input please- first on Swift sway bars, second on the possible advantages of changing out the stock bars on my 02 for them. Thanks

From what I've read and heard the swift bars are a step up from oem and create a nice neutral handling setup. Not as extreme as some of the auto x front bars.

You'll get more answers in the S2000 Modifications and Parts forum -- perhaps a moderator should move the thread there.

I ran a stock AP2 ('05) with only a swift solid bar and v710s for a couple of auto-x seasons. It turned out to be too soft and allowed too much sway in slaloms and fast pace transitions. It was great for sweepers and allowed a ton of lateral grip. When I decided to step it up and get better shocks, Hoosiers, etc. the bar just didn't cut it. I needed something stiffer so the car wouldn't get out of shape while building momentum in the faster sections of a course.

This bar would be better suited with aftermarket springs where the swaybar isn't compensating for soft spring rates.

What are you planning to do with the car that you want an after-market sway bar, and why did you pick this particular one (which I've never heard of)?
