I was just wondering if anyone had this bar?? and if it worked well. Also for $75 its pretty cheep.

 

wow does anyone have this???

 

if it's the straight bar i have it, it keeps the rearend quite a bit more firm during cornering.

 

no **** huh??? i'lll buy one RIGHT NOW!!!

i'm betting theres nothing u dont have jim...

 

a few things, just a few though, allready invested over 15k in the balt. i even have spare motor and tranny.

 

damn... 15 g's? in the motor i'm betting???

 

no, into everything. the turbo setup is taking a huge chunk of change, i had probably every power mod available before the switch to turbo as well. minus the dual pass end plate.

 

It is not a "sway bar" it is a STRUT bar.

 

I have the non-adjustable one ,it helps alittle bit. Its worth it imo...

 

oooo ok why is it under the car then??

 

looks nice I might buy one too

 

how does this compare to the progress sway bar?

 

They are two different products serving two separate functions. The Bwoody strut bar is designed to stiffen the trailing arm against side loads. The progress sway bar is designed to stiffen the trailing arm against twisting loads. Its not something thats really comparable they just operate differently from each other.

 

Exactly, and remember we will be soon releasing the 1" (25.4MM) rear sway bar, largest one out there

 

Did you guys get a price on that yet? I know the group buy is damn near 100...

 

Soon

 

^^^any way you guys could make us a 25mm diameter front sway bar instead of the 22mm the car comes with.

 

I can say right now a bigger front bar is not needed. The stock FE5 front bar is a 24mm unit and is more front bar then the car needs already. Thats why the rear add on bars are such a good investment, they take the constant understeer right out of the car.

 

i thought the front bar was only 22mm for the FE5

 

Thats the FE3 front bar. And really thats one of the very few differences between the FE3 and FE5 suspensions

FE1 = 18mm
FE3 = 22mm
FE5 = 24mm

For comparison

 

Can you use the Bwoody rear strut bar if you already have a progress swaybar installed?

 

Yes they are two different things and dont mount using the same holes if im not mistaken

EDIT:
At closer inspection of the installation it looks like they do use the same holes? Anyone have any advise on how to go about using both products?





The hole circled in green is the one that is used and the progress sway bar uses that hole as well as the one next to it. Ill host the image on a non forum site cuz the damn admins of this site are so gay when it comes to linking to other forums.

 

Interesting, Id like to use both, but if i cant then well ... i cant

 

I think that the bolt that the bwoody bar comes with may be long enough to attach both bars however not sure it would be the same thread pattern as the hole in the bracket that the progress sway bar uses

 

damn, if i dont order this im gonna order tims, lol
