As I mentioned earlier, the only way a CF sway would make sense would be if you had a three piece set up - which is exactly what you've uncovered Note that the "arms" are chrome moly and the CF main bar has metal splines on the ends. Yes, there is no reason why the same kind of set up wouldn't work on a car. Yes, it would probably cost an arm and a leg due to the fabrication of the CF bar and the integration of the splined ends with the CF such that you won't get delamination under load.
