Well its because I chose the not so popular side of the automotive aftermarket business and have always been a "handling guy" and almost never a power guy. I grew up putting " Turn Six sways on my mom's 280Z before I could drive and then would go out on back roads and my mom would tell me how the car felt and I would adjust the bars. My Dad had a 450SEL 6.9 and would take sweepers FAST and talk about hand position and looking where you want to go and so my environment was very "car-ee" at a early age without it being talked about alot. My GTI had suspension and every car since. So to just have some simple bars in our line up makes me very happy.

Man must be that time of the month for me....I am gettin' all choked up again.

I hope the guys who get them like them and are happy too. I will be looking for feedback from this first batch of 25.

Working on basic instructions NOW.

Myles

I have already given my payment info to Mike and I can't WAIT until these are in my hands and I am honored to be one of the first 25. Congrats on a dream realized Myles.

Oh and btw. Were the tissues for the tears or for cleaning up something else? Hmmmmm??

(hold on getting tear-ee eyed here)............it was a moment. I just wish my STI could be around to get the first set. But for now...Clint's (from TIC) Sti will do the honors of having the very first set of final production run bars, bushings and boxes !!

Ok I am getting some tissue now !!

I'm gone for a couple days and you guys get all soft!

Hey Myles,

I provided Andrew my CC info and got on the list a number of weeks back. Could you check to see if I'm on the list for the first 25 batch for David Chung?

Thanks!

Myles, what would be the overall advantages of your bars over something like what I have besides bar strength (chrome moly versus steel)? I have Worx Tuning bars which are 22mm front and rear with extended mounts in the rear. Here are some pictures of my bars:



Rear installed:


Since I installed the bars, I have upgraded my endlinks to Kartboy solid endlinks. I plan on buying either the Tarmac 2s or TiC SST coilovers with front camber plates and group-n hats in the back. I drive my car hard on the street and love to get in the twisties. I want something more comfortable than what I have now that will perform when I push it. I have stock struts with progressive lowering springs and my struts are starting to let go. Let me know what you think and if you would rather discuss this on the phone, just PM me and we'll do it. Thanks in advance for your time and your contributions to the Subaru (and IWSTI) community.

Well I think a 22 mm bar is just simply less aggressive where as ours starts at 25.5 and goes up to 28.4mm in the firm adjustment. I think 22mm bars are great if a person wants that size bar. We chose the in between size so that people could save some weight on the really big bars.

Update? Update? UPDATE!!!!! You want an UPDATE? I got your update!!!

Our testers from RCE arrived today. They are going on a car as soon as a new slave cylinder goes into a customer's first gen RX-7.

I will then be taking that car for the weekend and running it through it's paces. We will initially be setting them on full soft (the 25.5mm setting).

As for the car they are going on here's the details:

04 STi
All the TiC stuff
Ohlins Sportlines (with the normal 392/280 springs)
Shod in 235/45 17 Falken 512s. We'll throw stickier rubber on with the higher rates, but given that I'm familiar with these tires already this will be a good apples to apples test.

Pics coming in a few.
