After researching on the forums it looked like the best bet for a budget from sway bar would be a saner bar in comparison to the gendron that is available imo. I haven't seen any available on the fs forums since I came to s2ki.com but recently found them on ebay. So I figured I would share with the rest of you that they are still making bars and selling them there.

I'm not affiliated with them whatsoever. Just thought I would share.....

 

Thank you, I've been looking for this for a while.

 

I just got mine last week. They are shipping out within 3-5 days

No fitment issues or noises.

 

Call me pessimistic, but can anybody confirm if these are "the real deal"?

 

I'd also like to know if there have been any design changes since the last set. Personally, I would still go with the gendron bar (if i already didn't have the comptech). Didn't really like how saner just disappeared with absolutely no support or means of contact for several years.

 

looks just like my saner bar..

 

I had a saner, but even with the addition of a fourth hole it was still not stiff enough to eliminate inside wheel lift/spin when running on Hoosiers.

This is a reference to scca A stock setup.

I just had a custom bar made that should be about 30-60% stiffer if I remember the fabricator's numbers correctly but I'm still waiting to install/test the bar to see if it will get the job done.

Like I said, I don't remember the exact numbers but I do remember that back of the envelope calculations put it in the range of the Gendron and comptech bars, although my bar will only have 2 points of adjustment. Maybe 3 if he decided to suprise me (this is a first gen bar).

He used the OE bar as a template for fitment so it should be fine.

Anywho, the point is...he hasn't told me how much he will sell them for but he may make a small batch or two if testing is promising for what will probably be significantly less than the Gendron/Comptech but probably more than the Saner, although I don't know what you can pick a Saner up for these days, but like I said it's not enough for R-comps.

I probably won't have the bar for a while and the season is basically over, so I won't get to test it till next spring but I will surely let everyone know how it goes.

 

I have had both. The gendron cost more but is by far the better bar. Better quality,better service, better support and---he answers his phone! just my experience.

 

That is key! over 5 months of waiting for a bar, I left 5-10 voicemails for every 1 phone convo we had. Drove me nuts.

Just a note: The Sanar bar I got earlier this year (July I think) was bright blue, not black like the Ebay ones. I assume they are still the same tho.

I was skeptical about these bars being the real deal as well since the ebay feedback on this person was about dolls but they answered all my questions. I got their phone number to order an extra set of end links just in case they dissappeared for a few years again and they ended up sending me an extra set for free!
