Whoa. Why can't the forum be this active when I'm not out on business.

It's called a Speedway bar, after Speedway Engineering who make components. More of a trade name, really. Designing and building a swaybar isn't a exactly rocket science. The car already has a Progress bar on it. You'll know whether you want more or less roll resistance from there. Plus, the Progress bars actual figures are known. I don't see where the debate about this is. Something like this would be cool for quick sway bar tuning. That's probably why there's one in that Dog II article on MotoIQ. And if Dan's going with KW's, he'll probably need a bit of sway bar in there.

Errata. PoorBoyBrian executing the lamest e-attack ever. If you're going to call someone out, using "I'll bet" and "probably" a bunch of times doesn't exactly have teeth. The put-downs frankly reminded me of "your mother's a terrible cook" from Baseketball.

Ah, with the correct name you can find pretty good tables giving you numbers to compare your progress bar with. No need to calculate, someone did it for you. sweet!

amen! lol i seriously just wanted to hook cody up so he could get snow tires. I honestly hate the look of the wheels so im probably gonna sandblast em, and if i get lucky, the polished lip should come back out. Or just sell em to someone and use that money to get something better

Just sell them as soon as you can and get something better like you already suggested. Dont even waste your time on making those look different, unless you're really that bored.

Thumbs up for taking a step in the right direction.

Those wheels are really decent, and with a polished lip and a different color face they will look good. The offset isnt super horrible, they sit pretty close to flush.
