Thanks for sharing the product picture Karl! Looks great with the Ohlins; though, I'm very curious to know how well the quick adjust works for you with those large diameter shock bodies. It may be a tight squeeze trying to get the endlink into the #2 hole on those bodies, but maybe you can get lucky... Looking forward to your feedback! Thanks -Brian

How does the quick adjustment on the Karcepts bar work? I'm not sure I follow.
It looks very well engineered, and the price is certainly right.

It's a very simple idea. For a given ride height, we were able to position the holes in the sway bar arm to follow the same radius that the endlink stud would follow. Meaning, no corrections to endlink length are needed when moving throughout the adjustment range. The hex of the endlink stud is also captured by a machined slot in the arm, so no secondary wrench is needed to hold the endlink stud from spinning while tightening. That, along with careful positioning of the arms, you can easily access the nut on the back side of the sway bar arm and change hole positions with the car sitting on the ground at ride height. Different ride heights will require endlinks to be set at different lengths, but that info is all provided in the instructions iamxpL was kind enough to share.

That's what I was struggling to figure out just looking at pictures.
WOW

AND I think you are one of the only race-bread sway bar manufacturers to include installation instructions. Props!

I've got Brian's sway bar kit and the quick adjustment is PURE GENIUS.

can I get some bar stiffness per setting for the karcepts bar? Preferably FT/IN.

I'm referring to the .250 wall bar they sell
