Steeda Adjustable Rear Swaybar 05-2012
Our new adjustable rear swaybar offers 3 positions of adjustment for fine tuning of handling balance. Starting with the softest position each adjustment position changes stiffness by 8% for a total fine tuning range of 16%.
Compared to the 2011 Mustang 7/8" swaybar our adjustable bar is 142% stiffer at the softest setting, 150% in the middle setting, and 158% at the stiffest setting. For vehicles equipped with a 1" rear bar our adjustable bar will provide an increases in stiffness of 67%, 75% and 83%.
Our adjustable rear swaybar can be used with the stock front swaybar or is a great complement to our adjustable front swaybar for the widest range of adjustment and fine tuning.

Nice product.
I've always wondered why you can't buy infinitely adjustable bars for street cars like used in our racing vehicles? The manufacturing costs wouldn't seem to be that much more. Is it that they don't have a long enough lifespan?
For readers unfamiliar, some race vehicles use a flattened bar instead of round. The bar can be rotated to any angle. So its extremely stiff if trying to bend parallel to the flat but very easy perpendicular to it.

Have to make a correction here. Its actually a 1 1/4 inch tubular bar. Its capped at the ends so when I took a brief look at it I thought it was solid, but it is actually tubular.

The convertible stabilizing/stiffening bars, unless the AR bar is bent to go around it (not by you, but by the factory/maker), it won't fit. And you don't want to give up those bars.
