    I found my stock front bar! Who wants to take it to a metallurgical scientist to make a thicker rep?

    Custom made ones, hella unique status.

    The new roll center stiffness on both axles or whatever was calculated to reduce understeer.

    I can do some measuring in a bit, maybe tonight.

    Hmm. Where did you get yours made? I would be down for a set of one off goodness. Could they make adjustable ones so you could tailor it to your driving preference? Like 2-3 holes on the end tabs?

    Hell yes, no problem. The company is now out of business and I don't have a copy of the mechadrawings anymore. It was a company called TLS-Steel in Socal.

    Any metal fabricator should be able to make a thicker version with adjustable preload holes if given the stock bar.

    Milkster I think your best bet would be to find a Mom and Pop Metal shop. TLS Steel used to make mostly metal fences and gates.
