You guys never responded to my last post I guess we little guys need to have a big shop behind our builds to get any type of brake even a 20% not free stuff like these big builds get

Hello Rafiq, Sorry I didn't get an e-mail that you replied back in the for sale thread, I will take a look at it. Since it is Labor Day weekend no one is working so it is just me catching up a few things.

Honestly we usually don't do any sponsorships, big or small shops or purchases we try to treat all customers the same.

Have a good weekend,
Ryan

How is the progress on this bar going for A-Bodies?

[UMI Tech]

Hey Troy. We have that bar coming up soon. We've been driving our LeMans a lot so that's next on our list.

And you didn't even complain that you don't get a big discount...

Just wanted to add that preload is good for road racing too, you can get your weights where you want them with adjustable sway bar end links.

Thanks for the replies everyone, we appreciate the feedback.

We understand this isn't a new item to the market and companies already offer it. Hellwig makes excellent items and they are great people, you can't go wrong with their set up.

One thing different we did with this bar was made sure it fit the long list of aftermarket rear ends on the market. This bar will clear the OEM 7.5, 8.5GN, 12-bolts, 9", M9, S60 and other fabricated rear ends with out issues and with out spacing the bar below the rear end. Many of the bars on the market today are designed to the clear the 7.5 only and some companies sell spacers to lower the car to clear other rear ends, this is a bolt on and go for all rear ends. The pre-load adjustment on this bar is also on car adjustable and doesn't require you to unbolt the end links like other set ups.

Thanks again for looking,
Ryan

Any reason that it is hollow instead of solid? Is there a benefit to either?

Hey Tony.

Most of a sway bar's action comes from the outside diameter. Using hollow tubing in the case of this bar saves weight and cost without sacrificing much sway bar rate. As we go up in size and bend complexity, the ability to bend a bar properly shifts to solid and the price flip-flops to solid being less expensive.

In the case of a rear bar like a drag anti-roll bar, we heat treat 1.250" diameter solid because that particular application can use the huge rates and needs the additional strength.
