I'm the lucky sap who got to work with Ira at Tarett Engineering and have my car be the test mule for rear swaybar development.
We got a chance to test the prototype rear swaybar at the PCA SDR autocross last weekend. Here's all the gory details. I felt the need to be wordy so as to help provide and accurate picture. (The content are my own words. Although I have been given permission to discuss this, I want to make it clear that I am not speaking for Ira.) Attached image(s)

Alas no. The scientific method was not completely employed, although I tried. Time constraints between run groups limited the amount of twiddling. We also didn't have any baseline settings for a front-only setup, so that would have consumed practice laps as well. The desire to not get completely whomped during timed runs factored in as well -- coming in dead last wouldn't be a good testimony for the product, even if the product had nothing to do with it. The final mount design is still under consideration. Right now the mount is assembled together from the parts bin and bolted to the trunk floor with additional metal stiffeners. Pictures of it would elicit a GADZOOKS! or worse. Probably worse. |
