    GC front sway bar adjustment range question . . . .flat ride related

    So I've been playing with the FCM spreadsheet as I work on figuring out my suspension setup. Does anyone who is running the GC infinitely adjustable front sway know roughly what the adjustment range is? The table on the FCM spread sheet gives a range of 214mm (stiff) to 250mm (soft) for sway bar arm length. From looking at the pics it seems like maybe the adjustment range should be greater than that?

    From the spreadsheet, if I run Ohlins R&Ts with 315lb springs up front and the Ohlins 628lb rear, I get a R/F freq ratio of 1.08. But to get the FRC to 75% area I would need to run the medium GC sway with an arm length of ~265mm, which is 15mm beyond what the spreadsheet lists for soft. I assume that is within the adjustment range, but would love to confirm before ordering anything. The medium thickness GC sway on the medium setting (230mm) would give me a FRC of 79%, a little high.

    If possible, to me this seems like a reasonable first shot at a flat ride street setup . . . .. .only issue is the target road speed for my R/F ratio is like 110mph.

    I have the GC front bar (for weight reduction) - and there is no indicator on it (e.g. etching) that identifies the limits of adjustment.

    (I run it with the end link clamps about 1cm from the end of the bar. I haven’t had a chance to tinker.

      Thanks you sir . . . Do you have an idea of roughly the length of the arm?
