The best set up is Tripoint Engineering Front Adjustable bar and bronze bushings. This is also sold by Mazdaspeed Motorsport.

Racing Beat also makes (or made) adjustable front and rear sway bars.

Jim,
Puzzling indeed. That RB front bar has different lever arms w/no adjustment? The old RB 3 piece was adjustable.

Good point. I'd forgotten that you couldn't adjust the end link position with that bar.

The Blue RB arms were always that way, only adj't was tubing wall thickness. Very stiff and looked great, but, Jim had 1 bad data point with those bars ....

New RB front is solid (and porky). Same 32mm as suspension tech's, but likely better quality.

Tripoint and M2 fronts both had multi hole arms, and several main tube thickness options. Now it's just Tripoint for adjustable fronts.

You do have at least 3, mabe 6 stiffness options with 19mm rear bar choice. The 2 holes in the arm get 3 stiffness settings ... short arm for stiff, long for soft, and one of ea for medium. And the solid ST rear will be much stiffer vs the hollow RB rear.

I use offset pivot bushings to keep rear end links vertical.
