Time to TORQUE FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mods: Payment has been issued for vendor status. He's a little slow to get things added but I can send you a copy of the payment if you need confirmation of me being a vendor on here now. Want to let these people in on the group buy I currently have running on my other sites so that they can enjoy the deals too!

HTTP://WWW.TORQUEFORWARD.COM

My name is Benjamin and I am the owner of Torque Forward Inc. We are a group of two individuals with interested parties helping us along. I personally have been in business for 6 months and before that, our torque brace was being made and refined by other dedicated individuals. With me and my companion's connections we have been able to upgrade product quality 10 fold from where it started. All of our items are now professionally machined and amazingly we have not had to raise our prices to be able to do this. Our group of individuals consists soley of people who own Ion Redlines and Cobalt SS's. We drive these vehicles, we use these mods on our vehicles, and we are here soley to serve you.

I will admit we have been redline biased up until a couple months ago. Currently for the 2.0 LSJ engine we have the following available:

Single Torque Brace: Front or rear, your choice $100 shipped to your door.
Rear brace attaches under the vehicle towards the driver side between the rear transmission mount and the front transmission mount.


Front brace attaches at the passenger side motor mount similar to others available.

Front brackets are crafted from carbon steel (stronger than stainless) and are currently primed and painted your choice of red, black or silver before being shipped to you. In the near future we will have powdercoating available to you as an option. Rear brace is one small stainless steel bracket that is already polished. No additional treatment provided for the rear bracket.

Dual Torque Brace $175 shipped to your door. The above information applies to the dual brace setup as well.

Rear stabilizer bar: $65 shipped to your door. Attaches underneath your spring seats in the rear of the vehicle. I've seen it installed in as little as 5 minutes. Testimony from members on your site and from the redlineforums should confirm the huge benefit this provides.


Urethane Filled Motor Mounts: We take stock motor mounts and fill them with industrial grade poly urethane. $150 plus $75 core charge.

The most commonly asked question is: Can I do these myself? Why yes you can. The reason we chose to offer this product is a matter of convenience. We have a couple extra sets of mounts lying around and therefore we can ship them off to you and you can immediately put them on your vehicle without disabling your car for the 2-3 days curing time. There is a waiting list on this item as it has been pretty popular. We give you 20 days from the day we ship the package to you to install them and return the cores to us for refund of your core charge.


Coming soon for your vehicles will be the carbon steel strut bar painted your choice of colors. This item is in the testing phase for your vehicles but has been put on temporary hold. We are also working on computer tuning for the vehicle. My partner decided to turn it up a bit too far and KABOOM. Once he's done rebuilding his engine we will resume finishing the strut bar.

We are offering two deals for you right now through Wednesday May 17th. They are as follows:

Torque Braces: 1% off for each order up to 15% based on the group sales during the group buy period. (I currently have 7 orders so 7% discount guaranteed at this point.)

Rear stabilizer bar: $10.00 off. 55 shipped to your door.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Benjamin

Thanks for posting that for me.

Typically I charge a little extra for shipping to Canada...but what the hell: prices go for Canada too.

Just a bit more info:

I'm in California for my daytime job until May 19th. I do the torque braces and my partner does the rear bars and mounts. Those can be sent immediately, but the Torque Brace expected ship date is June 1st. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Does the Cobalt SS already have a 22mm rear stabilizer bar as part of the stock FE-3/5 suspension?

No you aren't replacing a part under there. It's simply an addition as pictured. It runs along the beam down there.

Remember: The group buy deals are going on through next wednesday the 17th. After that the prices will return to normal. Right now with the group buy the dual torque brace is cheaper than a single one from the other companies and no one else offers the rear bars. If you have questions, certainly let me know!

So far I have 7 orders on the torque braces so 7%. 93 shipped for single torque brace. It can go all the way down to 85 depended upon how many orders I receive.

I'm curious as to the differences between your single brace and the Ingalls one? Why is yours so much less? I hear so many raving reviews on the Ingalls, but so far only seen 1 person using yours? I heard you're bigger on the Redline forums...maybe point me in the right direction so I can read some user comments? And this may be a dumb question, but the bracket is included with the brace, or is that separate? If it's just as good for only 60% of the cost, you've got my order.

Thanks!

You can order it on www.torqueforward.com. Once the group buy is done I will refund you the group buy discount amount.

As for the difference between my product and ingalls, the dampeners look the same to me. I don't know if they are or not but they very well could be. I'm a home based business with low overhead and some damn fine connections so I can really get good deals on the stuff. If you want to check out reviews of the product you can go to the redline forums (can't post the name here it'll star out) and search under product reviews. The brackets are included with the stiffy and are machined carbon steel.

As for pictures go here for the official install..it's got good photos: http://worldofkolmar.tripod.com/torquedocs/
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks

Ben

It's painted and that will be available in 3 weeks. If you order it you can get the discount but it won't be shipped until then. I'm not at home and can't edit the webpage to reflect that right now so I apologize for that. Thanks

CTCOBALTSS mislabeled the product in his post. It's a rear stabilizer bar, not a rear strut bar. A rear strut bar would mount inside your trunk area and tie the rear strut towers together. As to what benefits a rear stabilizer bar provides and how it differs from a rear sway bar, I would like to know the answer to that as well since I'm pretty hot for that Progress rear sway bar myself
