08 springs are in production. So 4-5 weeks for those.

08 sway proto's are days away, prob 1 week from pics.

04-07 STI sways : rear DONE and on truck to us. Rear bushing (final) mold done and test bushing on way to us. Front final test bar here Wed. Front bushing DONE and fine.

Me=happy !!

thanks for the enthusiasm guys. I was at the Perry meet in VA Sunday and looked under Corey's car and those green proto's just jumped out and said...." Bonjour"..lol. Talk about French Green....lol.

Wow, just read the whole thread. I had pretty much just made up my mind on which whiteline bar to get and now bang...don't know what to do. Awesome the way you designed these bars with feedback from the community

I will be keeping an eye on the '08 bar development. I assume you have already made your basic design decisions, but I have been a big fan of hollow bars as they make a lot of sense from and engineering tradeoff standpoint.

I vote for white in color!

Thanks ...but we are not close enough to schedule ( imo)....but we are close. I was expecting the "final" bar sets today but the UPS man didnt have it. I want to see the final finish and do the final front test fit.

Sorry I didn't specify, I just ordered the rear bar and from what I understand those are all done, just waiting on bushings.

Any idea on the dates the rear bar will be processed and shipped out?

Thanks

Wait... is it an illusion, or are the bushing mounting points on the front bar not coaxial? Looks like you'd have to run bushings with the holes cut at an angle.

Wow good eye's stretch...Oh wait I have no f*#%#@ clue what you're talking about. Care to explain to us non suspension guru's what you're referring too. Still so much stuff in the stretch suspension archives I need to learn


EDIT: And YAH! I'm on the list for bars

EDIT2: Wait I think I see what you're talking about. In the top picture the right bushing on the front bar--is that what you were referring too. It does kinda look to be on an angle.

No its an optical illusion since its sitting in a weird position. When on the car its FLAT position.
