Karl at Racer's Edge has a very nice true racing (NASCAR Style) front bar.

I asked him about this and he said it was never for sale?

Exactly...I'm sure it would have a market. However I'm not sure why he showed a picture of it if it was never made for sale?

I am going to make my own as I have always used this method on all my racecars over the last 20 years. Do you think there would be an interest?

I've got the 968 M030 rear sway, which is adjustable, but can't quite visualize how the front could be made adjustable? Any pics?

Well I'd be in. I'm sure if you could post some pics or drawings and start a thread there would be enough people interested. Don't forget this would suit all the front engined cars and there's plenty of 944 and 968 racers who would jump at this I would have though?

I have no complaints about my tarrett bars, nicely engineered, excellent customer service, but of course they don't cost fifty bucks...

I was gonna make my own as well. I can get bar in any length and spline from the supliers that make our midget torsion bars. They also sell arms in a blank with the splines in them that you can cut to length bend (is hard to bend them) drill etc. One would just have to make his own mounting system to the car and lower arms. I got some pics a tarret bar from a lister for reference just never got around to making one. I've been putting the mustang back together for the last few months and was rewarded with a 867 all motor RWHP dyno run!

They are hollow, the brackets are much heavier duty than stock(no bad thing), but nothing like 10kg.They work very well.
