Just curious what the opinions are on the different bars out there. I have used and liked the Tarret bar but there are many other bars out there. Smart bar looks really nice as well. What are your thoughts?

One thing that has not really been addressed is the droplinks, other than that they should be adjustable.
I really have personal experience with only the WeltMeister, Tarrett, and SmartRacing. I'm using Smart bars on the 911 but Tarrett drop links because they use 10mm hardware and everybody else thinks 8mm is adequate. I don't. I had an 8mm Heim joint fail in compression with resultant loss of car. It was nicely neutral with a middlesize bar up front (we'd call it tiny now, this was a long time ago...) balancing a rear bar. When the front bar goes away at 100mph in the Esses at Riverside leaving you only the rear bar, it's a big handful... Yes, I think the driver (not me) probably brought on the failure by putting a wheel off (shock load) but - like that's never happened before... Hear me now and believe me later - there are big loads on the droplink and tension is _not_ the likely failure mode. I think 10mm is probably adequate. |
