    Default WTB: Racing Beat Front Sway Bar

    Hi all,

    Looking for a racing beat front sway bar. Preferably the Tubular type.

    TIA,

    Just pulled a RB tubular off of one of Gary's cars. I think we have a few more used ones on the shelf. Give us a call Monday afternoon for price. I highly recommend the Racing Beat sway bar brace kit or at least the mounting hardware if your autocross class prohibits the brace. I just replaced both my sway bar mounts as they were cracked clean through. Not a hard job but pretty involved. I installed a sway bar brace as well.
    ...and across the line.

    Alan, I just posted one up in my for sale thread if you need a back up plan. Otherwise Gary and his guys are awesome and I'd vouch for buying anything from them.

    Do you have a NA6 tubular bar available? Can I pick it up this afternoon?

    Racing Beat's sway bar "brace" kit is kind of a joke. If you really want to prevent the front swaybar mounts from failing, replace them with AWR mounts. FWIW, these have been ruled legal in all SCCA classes from Stock on down. You will have to grind off the spot welds that hold the old mounts to the chassis.

    I haven't seen any fail with the RB brace and certainly better than stock mounts. The AWR are nice but a PITA to install and more expensive. Would you care to elaborate on why you think the RB ones are a "joke"?
