Made In California
Why did we make this part ? Because if you track your car or club drive often, it can help you to lower your lap time by fine tuning your suspension at each corner as a system to make it more responsive and more balanced without hurting the ride quality, it can improve your driving experience, its unique and there is nothing available on the market and we made it affordable, easy to install and tune. The NSX has a great, stiff chassis to benefit from using this part. Dal Motorsports NSX had an one-off 2" ARB (see slide- God bless them) but due to the high cost of making the bar, it was never made available to the public and their car was highly modified.
How does it work? Check out the FAQ section for more details. See Senna's McLaren MP4/4 in the 1st opening view. After witnessing how well it worked on the winning GTP car, we can only find the typical one-piece, single purpose, U-shape ARB 1.0 sold everywhere since the '60s for every car. They are very inexpensive to make but they are not as effective as it can be for the high end sports cars such as the NSX. You can feel the increase in roll stiffness but it lacks adjustability and fine tuning capability. Pole 2 Flag ARB 2.0 is more advanced, intelligent and now more affordable due to the economy of scale and the KISS design thinking. If you have the ARB 1.0, its time to move forward to the 2.0 curve. For price reference, check www.tarett.com and www.provenwicked.com to see why ours are a great value. Purpose of this ARB 2.0: To help to retain a more constant ride height when the car rolls on turn-in and on corner exit. There are a lot of changes during this transition and this ARB will make the car more stable through those chassis dynamics and have a more constant ride height through those maneuvers. On a full ground effect car like the prototypes, an unstable ride height would cause serious loss of downforce. On the NSX, the effect is less since there is no undertray. This ARB allows “trimming” or further “dialing-in” the suspension setup of every corner of the car to minimize the roll angle – front/rear or left/right according to track conditions, dampers settings, springs, tire choice, track configurations, weight distribution, driving style preferences, adjust for oversteer/understeer easily and quickly. That, is an advantage the single purpose ARB 1.0 can not offer. Value for your money: ARB 2.0 is better than ARB 1.0 in many ways but it can not make a great car out of an average one. The NSX arguably is a great handling car with a great chassis and its fitting to have a better ARB system than what is available on the market. It provides a wide range of adjustments to work in concert with your wheel rate, motion ratio, springs, dampers, wheels and tires while retaining the correct suspension geometry by not changing the position of the end links. Friendly User Interface: Unlike the double, triple, 4-way adjustable dampers, you don't need to be a race engineer to set up this ARB. Its Plug & Play with a low learning curve. You can tune your existing suspension with this ARB. In addition, it's much easier to install compared to the one-piece ARB 1.0 and takes typically 2-3 min. per corner to make an adjustment. If we can do it, so can you. Silent as a church mouse, when installed correctly. Function over form: No remote/electronic adjustment available to keep cost down. Bling factor: Not much. it's a race part and its underneath the car. You can hardly see it. However, you can purchase Pole2Flag Racing decals to make your car faster. Give us a call or Contact Us if you have more questions. Shipped with a set of polyurethane bushings with grease.

Just wanted to give a quick review out there for the Pole2lag's new adjustable blade-type ARB (Antiroll bars).
It’s not often I feel compelled to do something like this, but these are so much better than the other brands out there in my opinion. For those that don’t know my story, I bought a NSX to speed up a learning curve to handle mid-engined cars on the track. So my plan was keeping the car for a year or so. However that changed soon after I took the car out for a first drive.
The car has been heavily modded from get go so it only needed a few TLC to become a proper track weapon to hang with GTR, Z06 and GT3s. The only short coming I could think of it was a set of mediocre antiroll bars. After a short research I've decided to give Dali track bars (1" Front and 7/8" Rear) a try. Improvement over other bars that came with car was noticeable but I wanted it more stiff up front. With the front bar at stiffest setting and full soft on rear and no matter what I did, the car would oversteer mid-corner. I tried everything short of changing spring rates. After that day I started looking for better suited ARB set up.
Next step was going Dali 'trophy' bar route but when I learned a heck job was inevitable I passed on trophy bars the search continued.
When the Pole2flag adjustable blade type ARB (Antiroll bars) came out I was dead set on getting them. What not to like about Dali 'trophy' bar level stiffness, infinite adjustable and less weight? Just so you know, Tim@Pole2flag has worked at Nissan motorsports for many years and he has great knowledge when it comes to race-proven parts. And I love just about anything race-proven (NOT race-inspired) designed parts. Anyways, I finally got the bars installed on my car. Based off of my previous experiences I set the bars up full stiff up front and full soft out back.
Driving around on the street, it felt better overall and flatter turn was very noticeable, but I wanted to reserve my final judgment on the ARB until I got the car up to speed on a track. After a several track days on multiple tracks including very fast WSIR, I am super excited to announce that the Pole2flag ARB are downright perfect for this car! There’s still more adjustment to be done to make the car completely perfect but thats my whole point. I can actually adjust what I need to adjust! Thumbs up to Pole2flag for offering a NOT just another part but an advanced race-proven designed part for NSX!!

I want to write a quick review of my experience with these P2F Bladed Sway bars.
I received these sway bars two weeks ago and was very impressed with the quality of the product, everything felt super solid and the finish of the bars were excellent. You could tell that the design was well thought out and P2F didn't skimp on the quality of end links and rod ends.
The install was straight forward and I was able to remove my previous Comptech sways and install the P2F versions in an afternoon working at a leisurely pace. P2F has provided documentation on their site but it would be best to have a service manual to find all the torque settings needed to complete the installation.
I was able to take my car out to Laguna Seca this past weekend and the bars made a considerable improvement with body roll and "feel" under cornering. The car felt more solid than my previous Comptech sways and I had more control in the faster corners like T5 and coming down T9.
Overall I am very happy with these bladed sway bars, they are a little more expensive than a standard sway bar but they are very high quality and the ability to "tune" them is a cool feature.
