Patience is a virtue. I know it's frustrating, but it's not a huge operation. Only so many people can only do so much. Know what I mean?

It's worth the wait given these are the best race parts made for our chassis and tested/proven harder than any to prove it...

wow thats sad to hear that we have screwed up your request, particularly as we hve lots of tow hooks in all sorts of cool colors in stock. I cant check emails against stage names easily, so please PM me here I can deal with it, or pm me your phone number. We will get in touch with you right away. 95/135 front/front&rear, plus shipping which is about 10-15 bucks depending on location. There has been a mail strike here but that shouldnot affect our responding to you.

sway bars are 220/240/275 for the three sizes, street /hardcore/triple X. All are in stock.
Street rear sway bar 1.0 A rear mounted, easily installed bar that is best for FE3 base suspension cars; for drivers who enjoy their cars on the street and do not auto cross or race their cars. . All PRS bars are supplied with mounting hardware and nut plates, installs in a few minutes. Powdercoated durable finish. Powell bars are made from Chrome Alloy material made in Germany. Chromealloy steel will remain elastic and bend through the desired range of motion without "going plastic". All the bars are hollow, the hardcore / xXx bars have welded caps the other bars have plastic end caps. The bar anchor bolt sleeves are tig welded and normalized. Wall thickness changes with bar diameter. All chrome alloy tube is dimensionally accurate in outside diameter, irrregular inside diameter.

Hardcore rear sway bar 1.25 This is the original sized bar devised by John Powell and developed with GM chassis engineers, and used on the famous "Time Attack" Cobalt driven to overall victory by John Heinricy in 2005. Best for FE5 suspension cars, and drivers who track their cars as well as enjoying spirited street performance. All Powell bars are mandrel bent and then placed in a jig, machined and inserts TIG welded through the bar and normalized. The Delta twisting beam rear suspension is not like other suspension designs. Its simple, effective, and any add-on sway bar properly made and attached will change the shear point and change the rear roll center.

Triple X rear sway bar 1.50 The newest rear bar developed by John in response to customer requests. Perfectly fine for expert drivers on the street. Like any of our add-on suspension parts, developed at the track and suitable for track use. . Best for upgraded suspensions with spherical front suspension joints, stiffer/shorter springs and track use. When the time attack Cobalt rear bar was devised, it was to compliment a twisting beam that had a weld in rear bar, 1.75 x .095 chromealloy and a 1.25 add on bar. This gave the desired stiffness to suit John Heinricy's inimitable track driving style. In 2011,National SCCA autocross competitors and track stars, Scott Herbert, Allan Densmore and Warren Wang asked John to come up with a more aggressive rear bar for use with a stock rear twisting beam.. The Triple X is just that, and gets closer to the Time Attack configuration, as stock twisting beams have a 22 mm solid weld in bar, which is not as stiff as the original Time Attack rear beam

Is your name Will? IF it is, we have sent you 4 emails asking if we should ship canada post, (the strike may have gotten in the way but its over now ) you wanted safety yellow and we have that here, and there was no answer from you for some reason. Lets resolve this if you wish.If in fact there is only one Will/dude411 in sylvan lake AB!Thanks.

this is gloria.... Is this Will M ? I have sent 3 emails now asking if you wanted to be sent via Canada Post or by UPS. i sent an email on June 16 asking will if he wanted to wait for the postal strike to end; sent July 4, stating postal strike over, good to send?

I do recall speaking to a Will from Sylvain lake for Safety yellow Tow hooks, and he wanted quick disconnect pins. It is boxed, labelled and ready to go. Just waiting for the desired method of delivery. We had server issues around the end of June, so, hopefully we didnt loose any emails.

If this is not will, sorry to confuse you with someone else.. there must be 2 people in Sylvain Lake that want tow hooks,,, that would be a good thing!!

If this is Will, I can get them out today!

She is back her Granny is very ill.

The deal I offered you was to take the bar off at CED and sell it to you. But you did not go, so np, move on

It is chipped, and I am not altogether sure if its a pc issue but whatever, the PC guys are gonna re do it. I see them late this afternoon. Then when its done tomorrow, we can ship it out to you at the Independence day special price. I would expect that to be by the end of the week. Thursday I am at the track so nothing can happen that day UNLESS Gloria can go get it and deal with it then. We will stay in touch.

Thanks.

I was given a street bar. Its installed, but I didnt feel much if any of a difference. I guess the explanation of the three bars is to why, maybe its not stiff enough on my FE5 suspension with pedders.
