Perfect thanks for the response! Expect to hear from me again this Spring/Summer when I have some free cash.

It would be money wasted. Do not get a bigger front bar and that tiny little progress bar won't do the job

Ya, go find a totally different product from them. Then get the RSB from Powell.

just bought powell 1.25 the other day, its 240 plus shipping. I paid the extra 25 for a special color though

contact gloria - gloria@powellraceshop.com she deals with most of the purchases for cobalt parts as their cobalt website isnt up yet.

I'll post pics here when it comes

Well as promised here it is. The way it was wrapped was pretty funny, but worked well! The paint is candy raspberry, I love it. Its hard to catch it good with the shitty camera I have but its very deep pink.






Putting it on tonight, I'll let you guys know how it feels

I had the bigger 27mm Eibach front sway with adjustable endlinks and the PRS XXX/1.5 rear. IMO, this combo works great for my DD setup.. And I do have the D2 coilovers as well. I use to have the hardcore rear 1.25" bar but the larger XXX works even better. Just another option for you to spend your $$ fwiw..
