i have alot on my plate right now, but i have NOT forgotten about the bars, i have been leaving message after message with no call back yet. I may have to use a different shop, which i'm not happy about, since new jigs will need to be made and just the fact i'd be dealing with a whole new shop...not to mention price....so as soon as i have the info i will post it.

need new front tie-bar
Hey Darryl,
I'm on for another front one. I bent the **** out of mine when I went over a railroad crossing hump/hill. Came down, and I heard it scrape big time. When I arrived at my destination, I looked under the car, and I could see that the metal folded. I'll take a pic of it this weekend.
I think after getting the new one, I'm just going to put it on for any autox event I manage to attend.
Anyway... Once you get another buy going, let me know.
Thanks.

no suprises at all, the rear bar is so easy, it can be done in the dark, the front bar is just as easy, just need to manuver around the oilpan, although the new bars will have a small relief in the endlink to help get the socket in there a little easier.
Also, upper strut bars, modeled after the RMM one i have (GTX/GTR OEM replicas) will also be prototyped.
As with engine torque braces. These are still in planning and design, but i have a plan to use 2 braces, one on each side, or one engine and one tranny.
The Strut Bars are near ready to go. I am just waiting on the first prototype to test fit it. I am working on having all the bars made at the same time, Strut Bars, Lower Tie Bars and Torque Braces.
All the bars will have a color choice. Some or none These will be powder coated, not just painted. It's Black Chrome or raw, as is. If you want another color other than Black Chrome and don't have the means to get it painted yourself, the cost will be significantly higher, in order to keep costs to a bear minimum i chose one color, it's MUCH cheaper to load up 100+ bars for ONE run, than 30 or 40 different color changes, and hey, black chrome is very cool
So stay tuned, i am excited about all this new stuff and getting the lower tie bars out there again. They are truly built for a purpose parts, but they work and work well. Mission accomplished

i would really like to buy the set, is there a guestamate on when it would be to late to send in my money. Just bought some strut bars and it would be "nice" to wait for my next check to get these.

i can't say for sure, will 3 weeks give you the time you need?
I did order extras, but i can't sit on em too long, as i need to recoupe my mass outlay of cash.
