Adjustable rear sway bar
 
I know of the Maximum Motorsports and Steeda versions, anyoine aware of any others worth mentioning? Any comments on pros/cons of each?

I've never gone with an adjustable rear sway bar - although I've got no complaints with the Steeda bar I'm running now.

Steeda engineers/produces quality components

IIRC, the Steeda one is just a repackaged Addco bar with somewhat cheesy spring loaded attachment points to make it adjustable. It is designed to run as a second bar in conjunction with the OEM piece. The unit from MM is more elaborate and more expensive, but is adjustable by moving the attachment points on the blades, a "proper" adjustable bar.

From your sig, you have a pretty good batch of components slid under the car already. Is there a specific handling trait that you are looking for, or to get rid of? Are you using the car for mostly street, autocross, track events? If you are getting too much understeer, maybe consider a slightly smaller front bar, Maximum has some I believe. You have enough front spring that you could do that.

Yes, the Steeda bar is as you described. The Bullitt is used primarily for Autocross with some track time mixed in, and there is more understeer than I want to have, hence the question of the bigger, adjustable rear bar but I hadn't thought of the smaller front bar. I am more inclined to go with the MM welded in rear bar but was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions. I found one by Progress

and there is the Hotchkiss bar also
