Intelligent sway bar

From here

Sway bars can provide excellent additional cornering abilities to already finely tuned suspension on every automobile. Often times however sway bars cannot be adjusted to the driver specific needs. This however is not the case with the iStabi. Equipped with a 10 step adjustable dial, this sway bar can be tuned to your driving needs. Positioning ranges from soft to hard makes the effects of this stabilizer set in for early or late responses depending on what you desire.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Need more info.... RS*Rs website is kinda useless, but I've never seen any of the suspension stuff for sale (with the exception of the Down springs). An application list would help, although I'd venture to say the DC5 would be on it. I'm willing to bet that thing is at least $400 though.

slowvic is an unknown quantity at this point

I say it's a gimmick. Most adjustable bars have stepped mounting points, simple and effective.

If I were to guess, there's probably a gear inside the box. When you turn the key in it, it changes the length of the bar, since the endlinks are fixed, it puts more stress in the bar, making it stiffer.
