~edit~ I'm sorry our damper couldn't work for your car for this upcoming track day, but I imagine you'll still have fun. I'm eagerly awaiting Robert's track experience and the resulting opinion of our product.
No sweat. Let me know when you figure out what the R&D schedule is.

Wow the engine doesnt move much at all in the video. I know when I do a 3rd gear pull and let off I get a thud, hopfully that will be gone if I get this. Any update on the aps crawford strutbar? Also will you be having a group buy to lower the cost any?

First off, sorry for the delayed response. I have the Crawford drawing done, I'll host it either on our website or on photohost website. Make sure to print one to one for the template.
Second, since none of our normal vendors are on this site I could be persuaded into allowing a group buy to form, but I'd need a sponsoring vendor on here to contact me to set up the details. For a group buy to happen the vendor will need in the neighborhood of 30 people to buy. It will be up to them to establish pricing.
Thanks,
Dan

Link to FAQ page.
Above is the link to our Stiffy FAQ page, at the bottom you will find the PDF of the template for the Crawford or APS style bar bracket. The two lines between the new hole and the existing mounting hole should measure 2" (use as scale after printing).
As far as the G crowd goes, I'll be starting development of a kit for you guys in the next few weeks. Dave, if you read this, shoot me a PM or an email so we can figure out a suitable schedule to bring your car in.

~edit~ As I understand it, our ETD doesn't conflict with the APS or JWT TT kit. Basically our kit goes over the turbo plumbing and radiator hose. I don't know how far Dave got into his install, but if he even tried to install the engine bracket then he could definitively tell you if there are any clearance issues.

Well i saw an Ingalls Dampner on a Cobalt SS (superchargerd one) over the weekend. It was a really nice looking product and looked to be very high quality. To bad it didnt make his cobalt faster than my Z .

I didn't get very far with the install because I saw right away that the strut tower bracket part wouldn't fit at all, but from holding the rest of it up to the bolt spots on the front of the engine (which is the same on the G and Z), it fit just fine. Sorry I didn't mention this sooner, it really just slipped my mind.

PM is on the way, also.

Why would you bring back two old threads just to post the very same picture?
