Any pics of that AC line zip tie bracket yet? I was poking around under the hood today and it seems that one would have to preload and stress the line quite a bit to get it low enough to clear. Pics would be awesome! Even if you have to use the plastic model bar.

You're 15 hours behind my time zone; does this mean I receive it before you send it?

Has the group buy started?

GrimmSpeed · 08-06-2013, 12:13 AM

The group buy will officially start tomorrow morning! We will update the first post with more info, pictures of the finished product and pricing! The way it will work is that we will keep the list active until next Friday. At that time, we'll send payment information to everybody on the list and you'll have until the 30th to send payment and shipping information.

Like I said, we'll post details in the morning, but we're very excited to do so! If you guys are half as thrilled as I am with how this has turned out (the product, performance, pricing, etc), we just might have a record-breaking group buy! Chase really nailed it this time!

Yes we do, working out some details right now, but this won't be a problem at all.

UPDATE 8/6/13: The Group Buy is Active!
It's official, ladies and gentleman. Strut bars are back from powdercoat and are looking really sharp! Most of you have been following it's development since day one, but for those that haven't, what you see here is the very best and most cost effective strut tower brace available. In both simulated and on-road testing, we're able to show that the factory triangulation bar actually do their jobs quite well! The only missing piece is a rigid bar tying both strut towers together, completing the triangle, and let me tell you, what a difference it makes. From the moment you pull out of the driveway, you'll feel a stiffer front end. Less creaks, noticeably smoother and more stable over cracks/potholes/etc and much snappier steering response. I wouldn't say it if it weren't true, but you don't have to take my word for it!

Quick Specs:

Laser cut, CNC bent brackets ensure a perfect fit
Mild steel construction provides maximum stiffness
Rigid design prevents unnecessary slop and tolerance stacking
Durable duPont powercoat
Legal in autocross classes that allow a strut tower bar but no other modification
Installation in minutes with only a single tool

Group Buy Details/Participation:

Participating in the group buy is simple. Just post up that you're interested if you're not already on the list. Don't worry about color preference for now. The list will be open until Friday, August 16th at 11:59pm CST. On the following Monday, we'll begin sending out payment and shipping instructions via PM. You'll then have two weeks to send payment and claim your bar!

Pricing Structure:

Traditionally, we've used a tiered pricing structure but since you guys kick ass and we're already at almost 200 people, let's just skip that nonsense and go straight to a killer price. You will NEVER see this bar at this price again, so hop to it!

Group Buy Price: $119.99
(MSRP: $158.99)
