Not sure he still has it, but ChuckZ had one.

I'm pretty sure that's what on this GT I bought.

As I remember Devek did two bar sizes, the slighly narrower one intended for earlier models as I remember.
Mine is the heavier one and is painted blue as in that "now sold" sale on e-bay.
Have you treated yourself to some wider front wheels to justify its use along with all the other goodies you have just acquired?

EDIT - here we go:
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...l#post10739686
The Devek sway bar is available in two stiffness ranges. Standard and Super Duty. The Standard is best suited for the driver of the lighter weight 78-84 928s who seeks additional control for weekend driving events, autocross and hard street driving. For the heavier 85 and later 928s, as well as road course race- prepped cars, the Super Duty is the right choice. The standard bar is adjustable from 21% - 140% stiffer than the stock bar, and the Super Duty bar is adjustable from 67% - 240% stiffer than stock. All Devek sway bars come with Teflon bushed Heim joints for a quitter ride at no additional cost.
Both bars cost $498 each
Above is from the Devek catalog - volume 3 circa early 2000.

Clearly there had to be a reason they felt that two models were needed.Whilst on the subject when they say they are 67% to 240% stiffer I have understood that to mean 67% stiffer than stock at the softest end of the range rather than it starts at 67% of stock stiffness and it adjustable up to 240% of stock stiffness- any different interpertations on that?

Front adjustable will give me some latitude to tune over/under steer tendencies at least.

You looking for the blue, black, doesn't matter?
Garrity has this one on eBay. Guessing it's one of the 928 Specialist units?

However once you run serious rubber up front and start to have oversteer, having non stock rear links with the Devek bar ceases to make sense. I am in that position and the only reason I retain the Louie links is because I lost my stock ones in a house move - durrgh! The Devek bar has such an operating range it is not a problem. With my current setup- now running 255's up front and 285's on the rear, the car feels very happy with the bar set midway.
Either way the Devek bar is a great addition for those with serious handling intent and I am sure you will love it assuming you stumped up for that one on Ebay.
