Any picture of the ladder installed? (GE)
I'm curious about which combos will or will not fit on the underbody side.
for the front strut tower, i assume we'll have to take all that plastic garbage off to install it?

b/c I was thinking whether or not to get the GE Rear Sway Bar too!!!
I know the design is same as GT Spec but whats the different b/w a solid piece design and this design with the pivotable points?
very close to 20% off.....so I am deciding if I should get this??

Good Question, can anyone answer this??

Due to this I have added one to my order which brings us to 30 if my calculations are correct!!! I'm cool with 3/4/11 as well, gives me time to put aside more money for this!

You know this question got me thinking, and while I haven't had first hand experience with either type I was thinking practically about it. While a RSB like progress has the benefits of being a solid rigid piece, it made me think about how over time the amount of stress on those 2 welds holding the bar to the mounting plates. Can you imagine the amount of torsion and flex they must undergo? This makes sense then to have those pivots incorporated into this RSB because it doesn't defeat the purpose since it is remaining as a solid connection between the two sides, it ties them together while providing a means of flex absorption so it will last longer. It is soo smart and I don't know why i didn't see it sooner.
Due to this I have added one to my order which brings us to 30 if my calculations are correct!!! I'm cool with 3/4/11 as well, gives me time to put aside more money for this!

how you make me think if I should get the sway bar too.....

Tiger Tuning - the GB will end when??? 2/18/11 or 3/4/11?
#106
personally for my order with the 30 pieces plus my personal extra 5% because of more than 2 pieces i get 20% off. that takes 119.80 off of my total of 599. 120 off!!! Thats like im getting the rear sway for half off, thats a good enough deal for me to want it lol.
#107
And for surpassing 30 pieces...EVERYONE is getting 15% off!! Those that have ordered multiple pieces get an additional 5% off on top of that!
Everyone, please double check that the parts ordered is correct! I will update the list on the first post as well.

Don't forget - GB prices are ALREADY lower than the retail prices on the website! Your total would be $672 if you ordered directly!
#109
Oh i most certainly did not forget that haha, but that is a good point to remind everyone else! What an amazing deal this is, I can't wait!!
#110
@j's_fit: yes it's a good amount of money (nothing compared to what you would have to shell out for equivalent setup)
But sway bars are one of the first things to improve... along with front bars!
Damn this GB is becoming EPIC!

Well my wife thinks it sounds like a good purchase so it must be good.. After drinks, a mess of fajitas and a fast run on a fairly challenging road on the drive home, she was in awe of how fast and roadworthy my car has become since new and appreciates how everything I have done to it has been improvement... I need to take her out for dinner and drinks more often, maybe even let her install the bars for since she is being nice...

I'm interested in some of the parts but have a few questions:
1) Is it worth springing for the rear sway bar if it isn't going to be paired with the rear strut bar? I use my cargo area very often and so I'm concerned about any fatiguing that may occur from removing and reinstalling that bolt so often.
2) How much benefit does the 4-point sub-frame brace and the mid chassis tie bar provide? I'm not too familiar with these since the usual ones I hear about are just front and rear bars/braces... are they worth investing in for a DD?
3) How much ground clearance is lost when installing the under-car parts? The way they're shaped, it looks like you'd lose a couple inches of ground clearance.

1.The sway bar reinforcement will give a big difference even without the rear strut bar! because they don't stiffen the same part! the sway bar eliminates flex in the torsion beam, not the chassis. This is by far the best mod for a GD (07-08) and it's great for a GE, but i don't know how much
2.Jodele as a similar bar under his car, and he told me he felt a nice difference! you will likely feel more the under bracing than the ones on struts
3. It will lower clearance, but i can't tell you by how much... my guess is no more than 1 1/2" if your car is not lowered, this should'nt be an issue in winter
