After reading a bit, I think you're right. Sweet, I learned something!

Looking good RCE! I am glad that you aren't moving away from the 04-07 community even though the new 08+ STi's are in the market. Big ups to Myles and RCE! I look forward to seeing reviews and results from real-world testing. I am sure these sway bars will not disappoint.

Thank you RCE

If it matters though, Flat Black with Hot-Rod Orange letters with a racing stripe/band on one side.

I vote for plain black on the bars - just like my RCE black springs . I understand the marketing and recognition part (i.e. Blue Cusco, etc.), but there are many of us that prefer function over form and I'd buy a non-descript performing part every time over something that may perform the same but screams out "look at me."

Thanks for the input. My (our) primary concern is making sure there are no noises and that fitment is solid. Once the front revisions are done( week or so) we are good to go. Rears go into production tomorrow.

Please let me know when these are available. I have been all over the place looking for bars, and I just said about a month ago, that I wish that you would do something or one other company that manufactures a good product and has excellent customer support. Great job. Oh, and on the color thing. My vote is black or polished.

For a "polished" look they would have to be plated since they are chromoly. FWIW my vote goes for black

I would say to contact us and I will take your info. We expect these to be available within a month, but I know, I know.....I have said that before on new releases!
