The caster/camber plates just came back from the anodizer yesterday. We are waiting on spring perch bearings... Otherwise everything is a go and they look sick!

The bars look good, but I just want to make a point for the non-engineery types here.

You can't simply compare wall thickness to determine stiffness. Stiffness is a combination of material properties, tubing diameter and wall thickness. Selling a bar as stiffer simply because the thickness was doubled (especially when changing to a completely different material) is a bit misleading.

Workmanship looks good, I just want everyone to be well informed.

SubieNate, I appreciate your attention to the details behind the Stiff Arms. I tried to keep the information behind the product as simple as possible for someone to understand. Balancing that information between an engineering mind and non-engineering mind is very hard because both sides will always have something to say. Please understand that I'm not trying to mislead anyone.

Just realised that it wont work with the TRD bar for the same reason Leemaster pointed out.
Would it be worth it looking at Version 2 with flat bar ends Raceseng? Thats both the Grimspeed and TRD strut bats that it doesnt fit...

gorgeous though as always

That is a good idea I might be able to address in V2 of the Stiff Arm product.

Thanks much!
