Lets see them already! Got any pics!?! What are you doing differently to your rear suspension now that you are back from Daytona? It was good to see a familiar helmet on Speed!

I vote black for one very simple reason. When you take the car in for service, the dealership will NOT even know the parts are on because they'll match the stock colors.

It won't matter unless they can absolutely prove that the part was the cause of the damage for whatever you bring in your car under warranty.

Regardless, it doesn't matter what color they are, what's important is how they perform. Function before form.

Will these be powder coated or wet paint? I vote for black also...but maybe red would go with my red car.

The sway bars will be sold in a set (front and rear together and will be adjustable) and will be powder coated.

Black Powder coated. I rather spend money on function rather than looks.

Here is a little more information on our sway bars......

The front bar is 3 hole adjustable. The softest setting is actaully softer than the current OEM stock sway bar and the stiffest setting is 30% stiffer.
The rear bar is also three hole adjustable with the third hole(stiffest setting) being 30% stiffer than stock.
Together this gives the user a wider range of tunning for differnt conditions.
Both bars work wiht the stock sway bars links. We will be selling in the future adjustable sway bar links for anyone interested in corner waiting the car.
If you have actually looked at the rear sway bar you will notice that it has some very nasty bends to it. These bends actually decrease the deflection rating of the bars. With the 350EVO rear bar you get a higher rate with a smaller diameter than other aftermarket companies are using Our rear bar also allows for better room for dual exhaust. It takes longer to get the stock sway bar out thatn to install our new bar.
The other advantage we have is racing.......our products are the same pieces that we race with.
The 350EVO bars will be for sale in about 2 weeks and cost between $425 to $450 for the set. Anyone intersted can e mail me at .........
Zsr31@aol.com
We will soon have our front upper adjustable control arms and adjustable rear camber arms. Plus al ot more......

So with the adjustable sway bar links, we'll have more adjustability with how much stiffness we can dial in, correct?

You are able to use the stock sway bar drop links with our sway bars. They can be used on all the settings/holes.
The adjustable sway bars links will help when corner weighting the car.

The optional adjustable drop links are not a needed option. They are more for absolute fine tuning/ track/racing. YYou will be able to use all the adjustable holes with the stock drop links.
Corner weighting a car helps with overall balance of the car. You would aslo need to be able to adjust ride heights to corner weight properly.

Im more interested in hearing how you will be adjusting camber on these bad boys. You mentioned new arms...... did you also make new toe-bars?

I wont go into production with the camber and toe bars if you are going to sell them at a reasonable price. No need for more heads in the same market.

Yes we have been racing/ testing with our upper control arms which allow for adjustable camber.
Our rear toe arms are being made at the moment. They will be stronger than the stock pcs and allow for rear camber adjustment. Will have pictures whn they are completed.
