Default Review of the comptech custom swaybar

Last Saturday I finally had a chance to put the new swaybar to the test. Before doing so I moved the center adjustment bolt to full stiff and the end links at medium. The event was on concrete and my car always pushes on concrete. When I went out for my first run I spun on the second turn! After getting used to the new feeling the car felt great and pushed far less then it ever has on concrete.

edit: this is in comparison to the JDM ITR 23mm bar.

My only complaint about the bar is how hard it is to move the center bolt. The drilled holes are so precise that it takes a bit of effort to remove the bolt. I assume this is done to reduce the amount of shearing force applied to the bolt.

Someone pointed out in the original thread that the endlink would bind if i moved it to the stiffer setting and that is a mistake on my behalf. I mounted the endlink with the 1" spacer on the inside when it should have been mounted on the outside. The spacer should only be on the inside when using the softest setting.

Here's the original topic if you have no idea what I'm talking about:
