Those are harder to come by. Not many people purchase them so they generally are out of stock. Do you already have a rear sway bar?

Have you asked how many hours of labor it is to install that thing? I understand its pretty labor intensive.

It's the labor that is the big detractor alright Lately, there's seems to be a renewed interest in the part. Not sure if it's people jumping up a class for Auto-X for next year, clutches getting replaced or some other factors. Regardless, our prototypes have been all but ironed out and we hope to do a production run very soon. Stay tuned!

Tested new 26mm Front Bar...

... And it's good!

Unfortunately it wasn't here in time for nationals.

I was ablt to get the 26mm prototype bar. Had it installed last week and tested it out this past weekend.

Car is in AS. So I can only change out the front bar.

It helps in transitions and slaloms. I can still lift the rear tire, but not as much as before.

Now I need to reevaluate my tire pressures to take away the newly induced understeer through the sweepers.

Then shocks and maybe some proper rain tires, etc...

Thanks for making the biggest bar out there,

Jerry I.

PS. I was on the stock bar and haven't tried a 25, so I don't know how the 25 and 26 compare.

I'm looking to go down the same path as you. Is the prototype bar you got adjustable?

Yes, it's two way adjustable.

A LOT! We typically recommend doing them with a clutch job since ther's so much crossover labor. Otherwise, it's a matter of dropping the front subframe.

I wrote a check for $200, having a professional do the install is the way to go. Especially for me, since the car is a daily driver.

Damn didnt know it was that big of a deal...the rear is pretty easy once you drop the suspension.

I see that you have removed the front sway bars from your website. Just wondering why?

you dropped the suspension to install a REAR swaybar? thats pretty overboard. my rear swaybar install took about 30 minutes and involved taking NOTHING off that wasn't directly connected to the swaybar itself!!!
