Keep in mind that the CT-1 exist's because of Carter's desire to get the most front bar strength he could in the process of complying to SCCA class rules. IIRC, doing so benefited him by increasing rear grip under power. Otherwise outside of SCCA class rules you do not want to tie yourself into only one set bar setting, since sway bar's are really supposed to be used to fine tune the car's at the limit bahavior to your your specific setup and to your liking. In addition in the here and now, the CT-1 bar no longer can lay claim to the tittle as the stiffest avaliable for the platform, that now belongs to the H&R front bar which is 36mm solid vs the CT-1 (and Cusco) 35mm solid. And the H&R bar is adjustable.

 

The Ct-1 is adjustable.

 

That was the intent then Carter did the initial R&D, however what Addco ended up delivering didn't have that feature. Which is also why the Addco version that has been showing up on ebay for awhile now has the same specs and is also not adjustable. So, while the prototype was made adjustable, it's the only one that is.

Quoted directly from the Stranono web site

"This bar is non-adjustable. It requires the use and slight modification to 350Z Track model front mount bushings (bored from 34mm to accomodate the appoximately 35mm diameter of this bar)."

[QUOTE=tomsn16;2523646]Saw Sam Straono(Stranoparts.com) this past weekend and he now has Addco CT1( 1 3/8" solid) front bars in stock.He has reduced the price because they were delivered with only one link hole.The good news is the hole is the soft setting one and that is the one we have found works best and what we used at the Peru(concrete) and DC(asphalt) Pros.The bar fits stock bushings and end links.

I bought mine from Jim and Carter directly. It was the bar that came off of their personal Z and I assure you it has three holes in it.

 

I edited my post because I accidently left out the quote where Carter talks about the prototype bar being adjustable. So having bought the prototype, yours is adjustable. But as my post above also confirm's, it's the only one of it 's kind.

 

If the CT1 from Strano has only one hole...just drill additional holes...should be easy.However you are likely to find the soft setting hole works best as we did.

I run the CT-1 bar from Strano on mine as well. Works great and half the price of other bars. No squeaking or clunking and really helps put the power down.

Note: If and when you break a front sway bar endlink, you will notice it immediately because you will get insurmoutable wheelspin. (Spotters said my inside rear wheel was over a foot off the ground!!!!)

Carter, When drilling the extra holes, will I need to flatten any more of the tubular part? Or is there enough room.

Don't know how much flat length there is to work with on the final bar.On our prototype there was plenty of room for three holes. Our holes were approx 3/4" apart,centerline to centerline. The lever arm lengths were 8 9/16",7 13/16" and 7 1/16". Lever length measured from hole centerline to bar centerline(section of bar that goes through mounting bushing).
