I haven't seen it but an adjustable rear bar is a good idea since it's a great way to adjust the front to rear roll stiffness. I find their site to be terrible (actually worthless) for information.

On top of that, I don't have a lot of confidence in their products. My panhard rod came from them and the rod ends rattle like it's about to fall off. (Sorry Sam...!) I'm getting ready to replace them with QA rod ends.

Thats my thought I'm getting a ST front for sure but would like the adjustabilty of the rear without having to play around with different sizes that work for me. I'm curious how the adjustability works... holes in the bar, adjustable endlinks or adj slide collar (Like the old ranchos). Maybe Mr Strano knows

Hmmm sounds interesting-keep us posted. What I would like to know is what the adjustment range is. I'd like a bar that could be adjusted from the stiffness of a stock 19mm bar up to maybe a 22mm bar. So for a 22.5 to be softer than a stock the lever arm extending to the endlink would have to be longer than stock design.

Yep, I know....... The bar isn't adjustable. They are simply including what they term "adjustable" endlinks with the kit. And those are simply just endlinks that have the metal sleeve replaced with a heavy spring. You can mess with a bar pre-load a little, but that all. The bar is thier normal 7/8" rear bar. Which, actually is 22mm, not 22.5 according to my caliper.
