I doubt anyone makes a front bar that's adjustable, besides the tubular ones that reqire custom fabrication.

Both Progress and ASR make one for the rear I believe...

I can build you a cockpit adjustable bar. You really only need a rear if it is for a Front driver, but I can do both. They aren't cheap.

I once made some 91-95 MR2 turbo TRD hollow sway bars adjustable by flattening tube and drilling more holes in it. It worked nicely! There was room to make a hole closer to the end to make the bar softer and room to make one hole closer to the BEND to make it more stiff.

I used a 20ton hyd. jack press at work.
Heated the bar up red hot.
Pressed on each side
straighted
drilled holes
repainted

You could feel the difference.

I ended up liking the feel of the original holes though

Hope they put the main hoop braces to the strut tower instead of the cross bar. JK.

good luck putting a speedway eng type bar on the front of any 88-01 honda/acura.

There just isn't much room with the double wishbone up front.

Yep. Stock front bars are all you need. No more.

I actually have a customer who wants to build a sick road race car, this thing will be really sick. The road race experience i have is limited to trans am series cars and toyota atlantic cars.

We could fabricate one no problem, i was just seein if there was someone who offered a readily available off the shelf unit to save tis guy some cost.

http://www.asr-racing.com Charelston his is HT SC sells a rear one. I couldn't peace together a kit like theres for less then they sell it.

As for the front, stock works great. And good luck putting a speadway eng type on the front of a 88-01 honda/acura. There isn't any room
