That is not street car hardware - not by a long shot.

You can make adjustable sway bars with kits avavilable from Ground Control - better than stock, but still streetable. Just be prepared to break out the welder....

Not as serious as that but back in the 80's I had a set of Ranch adjustable sway bars on my 83 stang. Had a collar on the endlink that you set between say 1/2" to 1" from the end of the bar. Pretty cool set up and not nearly that expensive. Too bad Rancho is all truck stuff now

Jon,
We have a source for adjustable end link spacers. It's someone in our SC3G club. He did a production run, but never mentioned it any further after they were done.

Both Lon and I have been wanting to get a set. A simple turn of a wrench allows you to adust the sway bar angle. This comes in handy especially after lowering the car.

I know its a little much street use, but its been tempting me for awhile. I just posted it for fun. They are going on my Mini, That cars attitude changes drastically when the fuel load dumps.

Bret, Jerry's link spacers will not adjust the bar stiffness. What they do is set preload on one side or the other. They can be used two ways 1) to set preload to favor one side for drag launch (torque twist), and 2) they could be used as a poormans cross wedge adjustment for circle track racing.

Yeah, that's all I'm looking to do, adjust/correct pre-load.
