Guys, I'm just back from Arkansas. A batch of bushings are in transit to me, I have a few bars here (but they are already spoken for). I will ship them just as soon as humanly possible, when I have both bars and bushings for go out. I cannot, I repeat CANNOT and will not tell you a 100% for certain date. I have a lot of juggle, including two different companies, shipping schedules, and well my everyday running of things.

You can either pre-order the bar (and many of you have) and I will call you when I have bars ready to go. Or you can stay tuned for my announcement that they are in stock and ready to ship. Until then, I cannot tell you they will ship by 11/___.

Will there be other sizes as well?

Sam Strano · 11-05-2012, 01:31 PM

I like to make what works and since the car IMHO doesn't need a bigger rear bar, for now this is all I'm going to make.

Sam Strano · 11-05-2012, 04:56 PM

Ok, new update. I have 3 bars here in the building (original order was for 20, they made 5, I shipped 2, but then I guess "forgot" to make the other 15 *sigh*). I will have bushings for them tomorrow and get them out to those with the oldest orders who also have events to run (I have to prioritize this to get them to those who they will help the most right now). The other 15, which should cover the remaining orders are due to ship to me by next week.

gmookher · 11-05-2012, 05:27 PM

anyone local to PHX order one of these, and by chance heading to the track with this bar? or willing to swap rides for one fast hot minute?

If my order was early enough to get one for this weekend's event, you can fly to Florida to test one on around the cones

I had swift springs on for SEMA, but I plan to run the car stock so the only suspension change I will have will be the Strano bar.

I am still waiting for strut/shock options.

I don't have my car yet but it's already on order, was wondering how hard it was to change the front bar? No need to drop the subframe or anything right? Probably gonna need to swap back and forth with the stock bar for specific reasons.

Not too hard, but not a 5 min. job, especially if you don't have a lift.
1. Jackstand the car (at least the front end)
2. Remove just the plastic undertray - the aluminum one can stay in place.
3. Remove the one nut (you'll want a decent length socket extension) and one bolt that hold each bushing bracket to the subframe pieces, remove the bushing brackets.
4. The bar can be removed / installed at this point, but it does take a bit of wrangling - it is a bit easier with the wheels off and a second set of eyes.
5. Button everything back up and you are all set.

It is fairly easy to drop the loose nuts INTO the subframe pieces, but they can be fished or pushed out with some wire (hard to describe, but you'll figure it out if it comes up). Other than that, not much to worry about.

You didn't mention removing the wheels. Needed or not?
