The last I heard, rule 15.7 says "*Any* anti roll bar ... or other
suspension stabilizer is permitted."
This is pretty unrestricted, and in conjunction with 15.7.B which allows
components to pass through body panels, driver-adjustable sway bars are
clearly legal. But, 15.7.A ought to stop them.
If you wanted to protest under 15.7.A "Components ... shall be covered
with metal panels" you would have a case. The main rule essentially allows
any component of any kind to be used. That had to include hand controls.
But if all components shall be covered with metal panels, it makes it darned
hard to reach the control.
I have fairly old rule book, so excuse me if 15.7 has been changed.
