Default Anyone sell adjustable sway bars?

Being the tweaker that I am ( no personal comments please! :rolleyes: ) I would really like adjustable front and rear sway bars.

Does anyone make any good ones?

Default Re: Anyone sell adjustable sway bars? (427V8)

I used a set of adjustable end links for a while that worked pretty well. They include poly bushings and a spring on the shaft. You adjust the compresion on the spring and that sets the point at which the stabar engages. For example, with the nylock nut on the shaft backed off/loose, you will experience more body roll before the spring fully compresses and the stabar engages. Conversely, if you tighten/screw down the nut on the shaft, less body roll will cause the spring to compress and engage the bar. The end link nuts can be adjusted on the car in about ten minutes so it's easy to "tighten up" for autocross.
I think I got them from Mid america or Ecklers.
