Had the Devek front bar on my 90GT and currently have one on my 94 GTS. They are made with a slit collar welded at the end of the bar that goes across the car. There is a round arm that slides in the collar for adjustment of the length of the arm for adjustable stiffness. The arm has threads on the end to attach the drop links. With that font bar on both cars I went with Louie Otts steroid adjustable drop links in the rear to stiffen it up to match the front. The steroid rear drop links have mount to the stock bar so the drop links have 3 positions for adjusting the length of the lever for stiffness adjustability.

I like having at least one end front or rear with a sliding adjustment. Helped a friend adjust cup car sway bars on his 944 Turbo. The adjustment is holes in the ends of the bar to attach the drop links. Even with five adjustment holes one was too soft and the next one to stiff trying to get a good front to rear balance.

I put Weltmeister front and rear adjustable sway bars on my 944 Turbo The ends of the bar where the drop links attach were not flattened with holes drilled. Instead, they had a sliding collar that tightened on the round bar used to attach the drop links to the bar. I would love to see something like this for the 928.

So are we saying the only current option for the front is Carls bar which needs the light weight starter and nothing is available for the rear?

We do offer something for the rear.

Similar to the Ott drop links and the change in leverage to the rear bar it made at the top, we did the same thing on the other end. This allows you to change the leverage again, just at the other end of the drop link.

It is easier to access, and we provide 4, not 2 possible positions to allow you to tune it in.

That, and polyurethane rear sway bar bushings, and your rear bar is all set.

"Coming soon is a sway bar mounting block that will move the sway bar mounts down just enough where our Ultimate sway bar will clear the stock starter. Then customers will not need to buy the mini-starter. Lower final installed cost without sacrificing quality."

Carl - How long is soon and will moving it "down" make it the lowest item on the front end? I have my car set to standard ride height and can clear most things.

I am focused on Bonneville for the next couple weeks yet, then I can get back to some of these projects.

This one is slated for October.

Maintaining adequate ground clearance is a factor of course, and we will be making sure that the sway bar and its mounts are not the lowest thing on the car.

Thanks Carl. Best wishes for Bonneville.
