WTB - Comptech Front Sway Bar

[ocrat]

Looking to buy a Comptech Front Sway Bar

[wgrandmont]

I don't have a Comptech bar, but I do have a "Gendron" bar 1.25" diameter hollow bar with .188" wall. There are six adjustment positions on the lever arms, so the bar has no holes drilled in it and is not subject to failure as with the Comptech. In addition there are two alternate bars that can be purchase from the manufacturer for a relatively small cost.

I am asking $ 450.00 for the bar in like new condition.

Do you still have the bar and if so where are you located?

Sorry, I sold it on e-bay. However, I now find that for autocross my car is faster with the stock sway bar than with the after market bar. Had I asked the question on this site first I might have saved myself some money and trouble. You might also want to ask the question before you purchase.

Yeah, how about gendron sway bars? I am also considering this one though my brother give me a Comptech.

The bar I used was a gendron sway bar. I tried both the solid bar and then swapped it for the lightest hollow bar. The AP2 does not in my opinion need a stiffer front sway bar. It feels tighter on the road but it is not faster in autocross. The stiffer bar makes the car understeer, however, when the back end does get loose it is uncontrollable in most cases. The car has better balance stock and it is controllable. Add some rear toe in to increase control at the back end. Hope this helps.
