Today I took some photos of a very cool sway bar set up.
Here are a couple sneak photos of the new ERP/Mirage cockpit adjustable blade sway bar.
You can contact Jae Lee at
Mirage International in San Diego Ca. at 1 858 581 1101 for details.
The sway bar below is being installed on the
Mirage 911 RSR+ project.
What advantage will the Porsche driver have with cockpit adjustable sway bars?
There are few good reasons to have cockpit adjustable sway bars.
If it began to rain in the middle of a DE session or race (or on wet roads
coming home from the track with your R rated tires
) sway bar adjustments could be made on the fly restoring max grip and car control to you immediately. Simply stiffen the front and soften the rear to tame your Porsche in poor traction conditions.
My application would routinely be in the first half hour session at the track I’d try several sway bar adjustments and see lap time results immediately. Sway bars optimally adjusted in just one session.
During an event if I change tires in the pits I won’t have to make a sway bar guess before the next session. Just go out on the track and make cockpit adjustments based on how the car handles instead of from the pits based on how you guessed it might handle.
I’ll be more inclined to try new sway bar setting since I’ll no longer have to lie down on the ground underneath the Porsche to do so.
Might be other advantages to cockpit adjustable sway bars too?

Blade bar style, remote adjuster and drop link not shown.
Rear bar, front and rear bars share same OD size (not wall thickness) so they are interchangable.
