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?

It is my understanding the a good bar for an AX 914 really isn't that big. I had my Tarret close to full soft and it still felt a bit much at times. However, this is one of the areas of the better bars. You have that ease of adjustability.
I will need to purchase a new bar in the next year while I build my G prepared 914 and may use my current 914 for some testing. I only want to spend the money once so this is why all inout and advice is very welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . I want every advantage if I am going to build and take this car to Nationals. |

I want every advantage if I am going to build and take this car to Nationals. We have run a 22 weltmeister for years.(ran 19 for 3 or 4 years back in the early 90s)With current setup- we run it about one inch in from full loose on the tight twisties - and run it slightly over 2 inches from full loose on grippy fast concrete. BTW-Was told by Fordahl that Weltmeister was absolute junk.I'm pretty sure they were running a TRG bar (23). Everytime I looked at their car it was set up towards the loose end of adjustment.Upgrade to TRG has been on the "want" list, but never got that far.We did test without a front bar-Tested from 200 coilovers on front all the way to 700s -in 50 lb increments.Conclusion-our cars have to have a front sway bar due to our poor roll center.How heavy will your car be in GP?
