Installed yet Tom?

ABQautoxer · 11-30-2012, 11:03 AM

No, the 2nd one didn't work with my KWs as you can see above. I'm waiting for a new one from hellwig bent to the right specs, I don't believe they have shipped one yet.

xwd · 11-30-2012, 02:39 PM

I'll be installing mine this weekend. I'm still stock but may be running aftermarket front struts within a month or so, but I'm assuming those will have the mounts in the stock position and orientation.

ABQautoxer · 11-30-2012, 02:53 PM

yeah looking at the KWs they lowered it so they could add more lowering threads for the collars.

I missed that one sorry, i'd be interested in that one since i'm on stock struts. i guess i need to check with Sam and see what we can do or is that other member getting it?

Any updates on the corrected batch Sam?

Any more reviews? I only have Tein H Tech springs and would like to add the bar if somebody has one that won't fit their setup.

Sam Strano · 12-17-2012, 12:56 PM

I just zipped one more out to be test fitted. The hole is exactly where the stock one is on a stock bar. One thing we found was simply the "coin" or the shape of the end of the bar. Stock is round, ours is more squared off and the it's the very corner that would touch.

I'm waiting for some pictures and measurements of the stock vs. the this car. I'm taking it slower because I don't want this issues again and in my zeal to help folks out who were pushing for stuff before the end of the season, I jumped the gun. That's on me, and I'm trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Did I need to order bushings with the bar? Didn't see anything on Sam's site about this, but there is a lot of talk about bushings in this thread. Help!

Sam Strano · 12-20-2012, 05:01 PM

Bushings will come with the bar... still waiting on final measurements on the last test bar I sent out.... I'm trying.

rapid · 12-22-2012, 10:38 AM

I'll be doing the pics and test fit of Sam's bar today on my stock FR-S. Sam will get the information and can post what works for him. I'll be providing before and after measurements of the end link clearance with the suspension loaded and unloaded.

Sam Strano · 12-23-2012, 03:51 PM

Thanks to "rapid" for doing this.. he's sent me pics of both stock and my bar installed on the car, and at droop and loaded. If it's all possible I hope he can post them here too (only because I'm not a computer genius and it would take me forever to figure it out).

Anyway *LONG* story made short. The bar has more clearance and we've got pics to prove it!!!!!

Which means, come Monday I can finally put in my full production order.. and on as much of a rush as humanly possible.

I can forward the pics if you want to see for yourself...

Good to hear. Can't wait to get my bar!!!

Yay! Maybe I'll get lucky enough to have one in time for the first event, 3 weeks from today. I want to get as good of a feel for it as possible before Dixie rolls around.
