Does anybody have measurements or a source for a Nascar Style Swaybar? Something like this one?

(IMG:http://photos.motoiq.com/MotoIQ/Project-Cars/Project-Spec-V-part-2/1-Speedway-Engineering-sway/741969875_JAytC-L.jpg)

I have a 35MM stock front swaybar and I am tuning on my suspension with a suspension guru and he told me that i needed to find a nascar style swaybar that's adjustable so that we can use that will handle heavy loads (2000 lbs load) for example.

I am running CP in Solo, so this would be legal. For you RoadRace guys, would a nascar bar be illegal? Please advise me if you know measurements and if I could use stock mounting brackets or need to fabricate new ones.

let me know your collective knowledge, thanks guys.

I just finished a conversation with a company who will be building me a prototype -- it turns out that it won't be a NASCAR bar but will be huge and it will be bolt on. I don't want to talk too much about it, but I will say this.

I promise to take lots of pictures, measurements, and I promise to make this swaybar available to everybody here at no profit to myself. The company even requested that I might organize a group buy to drive the costs down and I said "YES I WILL DO THAT".

so, this story is evolving, stay tuned.

OK, but will it be adjustable? If running a soft spring big bar set-up the speedway engineering bars can be changed quickly and with the arm link adjustments and the bar changes the combos are endless. Not to mention the price is not to bad just to buy a splined bar and not a whole new swaybar... Keep us informed very interested....
