Oh i agree. and they work wish I could keep them. they are for sale. $185.00 I am taking a hit but it is this or the stage2 kit. I want to keep stage2. Long story but it does not matter. need tuition money. I am selling other stuff on ebay. any way the bars are in the parts classified on here or pm me.
These are SOOOOOOOOO much more than threaded rods. Although $275 is a LOT for these. The ones I made were to be sold for about $150 and that was making a fairly decent profit. I can't imagine the profit your making on these at that price.
i dont know what rod ends you used but the 4 chromoloy ends are over $100 in cost for us and the tubes are 6061 cnc machined aluminum, and the spacers are also cnc machined, and we also only use grade 8 bolts and we offer a no break money back gaurantee. we only use race grade parts not the chinese junk sold on ebay or most of the internet.

Well make me a kit for my Cavalier and I'll test them out
The set I had made was stolen. My dumb ass left them out after I painted them and some punk kid rode by on his bike and grabbed them. ********** got them before I could recheck the measurements too so I'm not 100% sure on my numbers anymore.
But seriously...I'd take a set for testing if you made them for me LOL.

I do not own a Cobalt SS S/C but my one friend is looking into getting one. I speak from previous experience that Mike (wasntme) from B Woody makes excellent products and will stand behind them. B Woody will not produce a product unless they are 100% satisfied with its performance. I would know I own a SRT-4 with the BWoody H-Brace and Traction bar set-up. Between the combination of the bars and my mounts wheel hop is gone. Mike has even been kind enough to meet me at the local track to make sure I have my bars adjusted correctly to ensure that no wheel hop will be present again. And guys please do not cheap out when buying stuff like this. You gotta remember that you have to pay to play.
very true... I'm running a set of the Bwoody bars and they work great except for some clicking sounds I get from em... I probably have to tighten them a bit.. but I know Cobalt-addiction will be offering a set cheaper and soon... I"ll let you know pricing,

I will verify that those pieces loo kvery stout, not indestructable. But given teh current powerlevels cobalt SS's are running I don't see them breaking anytime soon. And using grade 8 bolts is a must do. Anyone selling a suspension upgrade that uses anythign but G8 bolts are hacks.
BTW what power level is the test combalt your using? GM Stage 2? Intense 5? Custom tuned?
You say no wheel hop but have you tried to break the bars yourself? I mean really try.
BTW guys the $275 set that you are refering to is our full blown race set they are rated at 24,000lbs and they come with a 2yr replacment warrenty aginst manufacturer defects, we do sell an economy version that is $180 plus shipping but it only has a 90 day warrenty and their rated at 13,000lbs.
