gauging any interest in rear strut bar & sway bar
hello all just wondering if anyone would be interested in a custom RSB and rear strut tower bar? Im going to fabricate a prototype, the rear strut bar would be 1.5 to 3 inch thick of steel tubing. the RSB will be 1 inch thick with solid end plates. if anyone likes my design ill start fabbing up more made to order including whatever paint you want at an extra cost. it will come painted black if custom color we can work on that. Ill have a prototype by next weekend. im also going to be working on a X brace for the rear that can attach to the strut bar as well......
So just an update, the RSB worked very well but for daily driver and the road conditions it was not suitable. So there was a lot of stress and something had to give so bar snapped on one end of the welds. So it was back to the drawing board and we figured just like cusco, progress, and etc there had to be a bend so that way there is a little flexibility. So today we finished prototype version 2. Lucky for us we have all the material, and a mandrel tube bender.

not interested, but I think something is either solid steel *rod*, or steel tubing. Tubing isn't solid, it's hollow; rod is solid. In Canada anyway.

im trying to make it reasonably priced, still getting materials should be in by tomorrow or friday ill have to see after its all said and done.

Can't be higher than $150 shipped either.

it can be any price you're just basing that price from progress which is understandable. Progress is the cheapest one out there compared to all the other ones but again ill decide when its all said and done. If someone doesn't agree, that's ok that's on them. Ill still have my bar when it boils down to it.

again thats the other persons decision im not knocking that. But you are basing it on ONE company which is progress and the cheapest on on the market, thats fine as i stated it before. CUSCO, beatrush, ultra racing all have the same product and more expensive but people are still buying them and thats ok. IM just saying when i finish the product I will decide what the cost will be after getting materials and time added together, the deciding factor wont be based on what YOU want the price to be. Again i made the thread to see if anyone would be interested after seeing the finished product, if not thats ok i have no problem with that.
