Smart Racing Anti-Roll Bars

I will be doing a complete suspension rebuild this winter and would like to use these. Are they still available? Any other suggestions on anti-roll bars?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I will be using 22/29 sanders bars and Elephant Racing goodies as well.
Thanks,
Dean

Tarett Engineering or Elephant Racing (same product for the most part).

I may be mistaken, but don't the drop links need brackets welded to the front control arms on both the Elephant and Tarett products? As I understand it, the Smart bars used a bolt on bracket. Small difference maybe, unless you don't have access to a welder...

Yes, welding u-tabs is necessary. But, it's very easy to grind the old tabs off and if you know someone that welds, that part takes 10 minutes.

Price difference is significant I think.

Which way? Elephant and Tarett are pretty close to each other. Was Smart higher or lower? For some reason, I seem to recall them being higher. But I can't remember what I ate for breakfast...

Smart Racing gives you more adjustability through different bar diameters. That said, plenty of fast drivers and cars using the Elephant/Tarret bars.
