I haven't run them, but I'm about 99% sure I saw these bars under development a little while ago. As I recall, they weren't at T1 stiffness, but closer to the Hotchkis bars. At the point however, they were generically working fairly well and trying to ratchet down final stiffness . . . . so they may have gone stiffer or softer than when I saw them. Guys doing the development were pretty detailed in their work, and were fairly knowledgable.

. . . depending on what you're looking for it may meet your need, but at a minimum they should be sharp enough to directly answer q's. Track they were testing at was fairly technical, so the bottom-line research should be fairly comprehensive.

(sorry . . . not the answer you were probably looking for)

I called them today and asked tech service.

Nobody picked up so I left a message.

Hopefully, they will call back.

I have been running the Pfadt Racing sway bars, along with a roll bar all year. So far I have run at Spring mountain in Nevada and Miller Motorsports here in Salt Lake city.
They are a very well engineered piece, and the adjustability is nice. Fit is great, and they look incredible.
In the past I have run z51, Hotchkis and T1 bars. The Pfadt bars are great.
