Can't believe bbywu remembers that thread above Who has the stiffest rear adjustable sway bar? -- did you read the thread's last page where question was raised about front bar stiffness? That is why I believe that sway bar's specs (how much stiffer compared to stock) be available from all vendors. So far I think only GMG is posting theirs, but I hope others will follow suit as well.

If I were to by sway bars now, my top 2 choices would *probably* be H&R or GMG. H&R because many people and tuners seem happy with it (it's been out the longest). GMG because they reveal specs, are hollow, and made by Eibach. But other choices like TPC, Tarett, etc., can't be ruled out either. There simply aren't enough reliable data with sway bars and it remains the most "mysterious" decision.

We attempt to keep a lot of specs about our bars quiet as they are proprietary and we have a lot of money and time invested in them. We know they work and our newest batch is almost completely sold out, so many others know that as well

Simple, makes perfect sense, and... I didn't think about it.

With this post and a good night sleep :-) I finally understand what exactly that is done during a corner balancing to achieve the cross weight equality: Mainly, driver's front is raised, and passenger's rear is lowered. Hope I am on target?

Casey, I understand and wish TPC success. Keep up the great work - I love the way TPC tunes their cars.
