Default GI: High Performance IS-F specific Sway bars

Hi all,
given that Hotchkis is discontinuing the IS350/250 sway bar set. We are considering making our own. Rates are still in the consideration phase but I am looking at something to compliment our track setup with a good lateral spring rate that will be noticable with the 16/12 rates we run. The rear on the stiffest setting in the past was mildly felt and I think there is still some improvement to be made. I need to run a large lot to get it done, so I am curios as to how many would be interested as well.

We would include our full endlink set and SuperPro poly bushings and potentially billet sway brackets depending on final diameters.
post up if you would be interested please.
Thanks Mike

This would be front and rear. Current rates on these bars were
27K front and
8k/12k rear

Goals right now are around 37K front and 16K/22k rear. Another great thing is that we would remove the overbend on the bars and move to a 90 degree bend thus allowing more usable leverage with our MEGA arms because they would be centered over the middle mount point. This would give 6 total usable sway bar configurations for the rear which can me much more influential to bumpsteer and corner trajectory. Currently with our MEGA arms the outmost mounts create a knee response on the sway bar, which is non linear. It would allow a more linear adjustment option. I would also add thrust plates for the bushings because my bar walks all over. I added a rear collar to hold it in one place which seems to be working after several track days..
