Pics/more info on sway bars?

It looks like you finally got your sway bars ready, but I would like more info than what is on your web site regarding how adjustable they are and what approach you are using for changing the stiffness. Can you help?

Thanks,

JW

The front and rear bars are each 3-way adjustable for stiffness (allowing for more oversteer or understeer) by way of adjustment holes on the bar ends where the endlinks mount.

David- What did you take off to isntall the front sway bar as it looks like a time consuming project.

If you think removing and reinstalling the front sway bar is a pain (and believe me, it is) imagine having to fabricate it! Actually, the front bar is not all that hard to put in, it just takes a bit more time than the rear and as with other WORKS products, we provide step-by-step installation instructions to help make it easier.

Pics of the bars will be up just as soon as I can get our staff photographer to snap a couple shots and host them on our website.

Your web site currently says:

Availability: Pre-order now (Shipping ETA 4 weeks).

How current is that info?

Well I have them on my car ...

so I think they're available.



FYI when I had the swaybars, and croxx plate and Advans still on the car (now I have ContiExtreme's for winter) the car cornered _perfectly_ no understeer, no oversteer. I was sliding around a few corners doing a hill climb type drive and never was out of control for even a second.

Can they be bought individually, or only as a set? As a stock class autocrosser, I really only need the front...

They can be bought individually or as a set. As a set, with the selected diameters and hole positions, they are a "matched" pair which WORKS recommends.
The rear bar is currently available right now and the front bar is just a few weeks away.
The website has the latest info.
