i have tried several front bars in a day, with the right tools i can change a front bar under 20min. There were times also that it was a completely different day and not the EXACT same track/weather conditions, but im not a noob and have taken such factors into account before i formulated opinions about such setups. Obviously you like nit picking to try and make me look like a idiot, and maybe one day we can torsion test all the 370z sway bars out there to see which one truely is the stiffest. But that of course will never happen, hell i may never even meet you in person. Fact of the matter is my on track testing, research, and experience superceeds you forum opinion in my book, and if you really disagree with me, then so be it. I was just trying to share a little info on a topic i have experience, even though i really dont have to. But call me a sucker i like to share info to a extent (passed a certain point i charge for chassis setup advice )

So if you feel my findings are flawed, then prove me wrong, or just stick to your opinion and potentially have a slower car around a track. whatever floats your boat.

Par for the course with Synolimit. He knows all.

Also, Doran actually did a shootout with a torsion test on most of the common retail bars before making their own. BJ has posted some of that information here somewhere, I remember reading the numbers in lbs/inch for various bars.

(Like Hotchkis front was ~990lbs and their bar they made is like 1600 or something outrageous.)
