Default Swaybars

We had a Comptech V2 on our runner-up National and Ladies BS Championship car last year. Went to a Gendron Monster for a few events this Spring, and now an Ankeny Blade Bar for the year. I've run it locally and in Milwaukee. Yom just won the B-stock ProSolo series championship in our car.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Ankeny bar over the Gendron one. The ability to change bar settings in literally 30 seconds is precious in stock class. I can also swap back to local street tire classes and rain settings in that amount of time.

The Ankeny bar is a fantastic bar. Highly recommend. And it helps that Guy is an S2000 competitor as well.

Things I like about the Ankeny bar: quick to change, huge adjustment, endlink alignment, price
things I dislike about the Ankeny bar: mounts, weight, non-linear spring rate

things I like about the gendron bar: weight, mount options, center section selection, spring rate/feel
things I dislike about the gendron bar: price, end-link alignment, arm clearance.

I have Penske Shocks and both front and rear blade swaybars from Guy. I cannot emphasize how knowledgable he is and what he has done in terms of development for the s2000. The swaybars are genius and has definitely helped the performance of my car for STR.

For people at Nats this week, he brought 3 extra bars for sale with him. You can also customize the diameter of the center section if you ask.

The speed to adjust is certainly the selling point! I wish it gave feedback that "I" was comfortable or i would have bought them for both the front and rear! Your car looks really well balanced on course, no doubt! Guy Ankeny is a great guy and asset to the community!
