Default Pfadt Sway Bars

Are the Pfadt sway bars sold by customcorvetteaccessories.com the same as those sold on the Pfadt website? Same names (street and pfatty) and same prices. I know it sounds like a dumb question, but the pictures on the customcorvetteaccessories website show 5 settings for adjustability on the bar arms while the bars on the Pfadt website show 3 holes for the front and 4 for the back.

5 holes: http://www.customcorvetteaccessories..._Up_edited.jpg

3/4 holes:http://www.pfadtracing.com/store-ima...sways-rear.jpg http://www.pfadtracing.com/store-ima...ways-front.jpg

Thanks in advance

From my understanding the 5 hole versions are an older design of the Pfatty bars and the updated version has fewer holes. It's been a while since I talked with him about it but I believe the 5th hole on the bars got the end links angled a little too far to truly be effective throughout the entire movement of the suspension (law of diminishing returns sort of thing). I've used both and they are a little expensive but they are just awesome and totally worth it.
