Just curious what the opinions are on the different bars out there. I have used and liked the Tarret bar but there are many other bars out there. Smart bar looks really nice as well. What are your thoughts?

Smart Racing Products swaybars are probably still the best of breed, but are spendy, around double the Weltmeister. I heard a rumor recently that they may be getting out of the swaybar biz or perhaps already did.

Tarret stuff is also very nice and the price point is in between Welt & SRP.

The Smart Racing sway bar is a nice unit, but one needs to figure out which level of sway bar to install, depending upon autoxing or track.

In my car the heaver bar was way to heavy and the understeer issue wasn't helped until we put in a 23mm.

Of course I have to say that even the 23mm might not be correct with the new differential installed in the 901. Just have to test it and see.

Changes, changes, changes....
