Strano 3 Way Adjustable Rear Sway Bars (Not just for drag racing)

Hey Strano Performance Parts offers a 3 way adjustable rear sway bar for 82-92 camaros! I'm not sure if this is new information, i tried searching the message boards and didn't find anything. Anyway the bar is 22mm and costs $250.00 w/ hardware etc.

I cant imagine that those 3 mounting holes give much difference in stifness. However, I do like that type of endlink better than the stock style "bolt with washers on it" style. And, the fact that it's bolt-on is nice.

on the contrary, that change in mount position is a major difference in leverage. Sortening the leverage arms makes the bar much harder to twist thus stiffening it.

We already have a slight bit of adjustment on our stock bars via the axle tube mounts. Not as much as this, but we do have a little by changing the width of the stock mounts. Inward will soften the bar, outward spread will increase the bar stiffness.

edit: one problem with the add though......Where is the 22mm position? One would assume it has to be the center setting? What is the adjustment range? Terrible ad description. You would have to call him to find out the adjustment range. Who know's, it could be 22- 25, 18- 26, 12- 22..... so what is the range?
