Adjustable front swaybar?

Is anybody making an adjustable front swaybar for the Fit? And no, I don't mean a strut tower bar, but a swaybar: the bar that connects the lower control arms together and keeps your car from leaning in corners.

I'm looking for an adjustable bar to use in autocross, one with different holes in the ends for adjustability, or a sliding coupler on the ends.

Lemme know!

Probably not- one of those things that will take forever to come to our market. You might check with Addco in either North or South Carolina (can't remember which state). They have been making after-market sway bars for everything from sports cars to trucks for 40 years or more, including adjustable end-link bars.

If I recall correctly Blox has an aftermarket sway bar for our cars, its 2mm thicker and has polyurethane bushings. Search for it in the Battlendless vendor forums, I think I saw it there.

Also, one coilover kit in particular, the T1R B-Max set, has adjustable sway bar endlinks that would allow you to adjust the stock or aftermarket swaybar.

Thanks for the replies.

No luck on Addco. They don't list anything for the Fit:

http://www.addco.net/Honda-Jensen_He...bars.htm#Honda

Found this on the T!R B-Max kit. It includes nothing about swaybar adjustment (but it looks sweet otherwise!):

A&J Racing :: Suspension & Brakes :: Fit/Jazz (GD3/4) :: T1R B-max 52 Damper - Honda Fit 07-up GD3

But I did find this from an ad in Grassroots Motorsports magazine:

Powergrid, Inc.

They offer adjustable swaybar endlinks for the Fit. These don't allow you to adjust swaybar stiffness, but they do allow you to dial out preload on one side -- or to create preload on one side if you want that. This looks like the best thing out there at the moment.

Anybody used this kit?

For some reason the endlinks aren't displayed in the aj-racing.com pics but if you look at the thread about them in the AJ-Racing vendor forums you can clearly see them installed.
