H-Sport Race Rear Sway Bar

This was something new I stumbled across and hadn't read about - H-Sport released a Race version of their rear sway bars to complement their line (previously, only Competition and Sport were available).

From their site about the Race model:
"This 1” (25.4mm) bar is 3 way adjustable and offers stiffness settings equaling +314% / +394% / +501% from the stock bar. The kit comes complete with greasable bushings and mounts."

For comparison:
H-Sport Competition: +226%, +294% & +383%
H-Sport Sport: +54%,+88% & +128%

The Race is a bit pricier than the Competition/Sport series, coming in at just over $300 MSRP compared to $243 for the others.

HTH!

This is probably a soild bar and as such I would have thought cheaper to make than their hollow bars. Only reasons why I can think they are asking more is, IT's NEW and expected lower sales volume on this product.

501% Wow! That has to be an auto-x only bar.

Why not just forego a rear suspension altogether, and bolt the rear wheels directly to the chassis?
