Just to make sure I'm thinking correctly... these have the 'medium' hole and the 'stiff enough that you need reinforced mounts' hole, but not the soft hole? Otherwise they are the same as production?

Working on that, I am waiting for exact "hardware only" prices from ADDCO on the cool hardware they got for us.
Just bought a bar - can you post the information on the hardware kits, or email the buyers, when you get it?

Thanks

Matt,

>Just to make sure I'm thinking correctly...

OK.

>these have the 'medium' hole and the 'stiff enough that you need reinforced mounts' hole,
> but not the soft hole? Otherwise they are the same as production?

No, these have the Stock Link position and 1 stiffer position (towards rear of car). They had a softer than stock position in the original design but I deleted that after initial testing back in April/May determined that using a position farther forward (towards front of car) would cause lower control arm to drop link interference. Somehow these changes from my last meeting with the engineers here back in June didn't get into production. That is one reason why we are cutting off the last hole because I don't feel a farther forward than stock link location is safe, the other reason is that I don't ever want these confused with our production bars that have the stock position and 2 stiffer positions.

The other difference is also my later June design that gives more tire clearance than stock is only on our production bar. Basically all of my May/June design changes somehow slipped thru the cracks on the first production run. As stated in the original post these budget bars are shaped like stock bars and give as much tire clearance as a stock bar.

Hope that makes sense.

Stiffer front, softer rear == tend away from oversteer.

Andy, find the "search" feature then type in "budget" as DR mention at the 1st of this post. Took me a few minutes to track it down last night too.

Mel, I typed that and all I found was some useless stuff, like "1967 Lamborghini Miura for parts, runs rough, needs repaint, $10k obo" and some other crap like "1995 928GTS 5spd, flood damage, u haul it, free to a good home" .. and to top it all off, "Wife's twin sister - we've got one, don't need another, u-haul, maybe buy me a case of beer"

Andy,

As mentioned above type "budget" in the search box (upper right hand corner of site) and it will be the only item to show up.

You can also look under "Browse by Parts Type", then click "Performance", then click "Suspension" and it will be on that page.

Heinrich,

You are supposed to search "Budget" on my site, not Google :-)

Hey Dave, what is the cost of an "A stock" front bar alone? I have previously purchased ott links from you, and dont need new drop links. Is it significanly cheaper to buy the "B stock" front bar from you?
Thanks

Hans,

In the beginning we had offered Bars only for a limited time to those that had bought Ott links from us for $150 each. Due to our current low inventory status on the production bar kits after 2 runs I can't offer that special now because ADDCO can't schedule me in for another run until after the first of the year. I could make that special deal for you then if you can wait that long, if so let me know ASAP so I can get you in line.

We still have 20 of the Budget bars left as of 8am this morning, so you can still get in on that deal if you like.
