Interest in HPP rear strut bar gb

Interested...depending on deadline.

Joe

why doesn't anyone do something like this:

so that the opening into the trunk isn't compromised. maybe even make the mounting points for the strut bar higher up on the tower?

just a thought...

Would probably cost more to make and does not seem like it would be as rigid. Nice photshop...

Im iterested

i'd be willing to compromise some rigidity for some utility.

if i make this, is anyone else interested?

these don't have to be welded, so if you had to you could take it off.

I slept on it. Unless one extra person is needed for the GB to happen, then I don't want it right now. I realized I don't live in a place with enough twisties to really make use of the RSTB.

im in lets do this

not practical. i also need more clearance over my sub box. an STB would get in the way.

It would seem this is not the GB for you.

I'm interested.
Edit: I'm not missing out again if this is a "go."

Count me in for sure!!!

how high does this mount in relation to the flore of the trunk ? I have a box that is about 12" tall. And how far does it mount in relationship to the back seat. I have amps too.

I fit my 10" sub enclosure under it with about .5" to spare. I'll have to measure it for accurate numbers. I will get more specifics on deadlines and delivery today.

My brace goes right over my box(have 2 tens) I actually put some brackets on the box so that it holds into the brace. I think it looks quite nice. Will try to figure out how to post pics.

Keyser,
Do you have any updates with prices and timing? Just curious..,

Count me in too. There goes my "Group Buy Cherry"

I guess I just can't pass up a good deal.

O3

I'm going to have the link set up shortly so everyone can order online. The pricing will be the same as the last buy. $86 for the bar and $10 for shipping. I'm thinking that we should close the buy on Friday May 16th.

-Chris

Can I ask what the price is for the bar normally?

What with a Classifieds buy for Wheels/Tires, Micah's SVT Bumper GB, the SVT SideSkirt GB, the DropZone GB, and this GB, and me moving this week to top it off, I can't afford to buy everything at once, so some things I cna buy for not much more retail are gonna have to wait.

Also, and maybe this was mentioned and I missed it, would this reduce some rear squeak I have in the suspension? At least I think it's the suspension, it could be the whole splitbody frame squeaking, but I hope not.

According to Keyser and nyceboi in the first gb, yes.

You can include me too, I noticed a significant difference.

ok so is there any time table here or what are we waiting on.

Link is set up. Cut off date is expected to be 5/16.

strut bar purchase

This doesn't seem to be a discounted price b/c if you do not follow the link and go through the home page and find it the price listed is 86.00 dollars. Is that the normal price that I can order this at anytime if so what is the discounted price.

Or did you just setup this page for this group buy and then it will come off the site?

Thanks,
Joe

He said that the page was set up just for this GB through this retailer.

That retailer normally sells nothing like Strut Bars -- all ground effects, spoilers, exhaust tips, etc. I guess they just have a distributor that carries them and can get them cheap.

im down allthough i live in montreal

Ordered!

Is the 16th going to be enough time or should we extend the deadline?

I ordered mine & I can't wait to get it. This is my Father's Day slash Birthday present from my wife. You gotta love that. Thanks for offering another group buy on these I barely missed the last one & thought I might not get another chance for a while. I love the CEG!

how hard is it going to bee to paint it. just as simple as sandong adding primer and some krylon?

Is this adjustable or no?
The pic (red bar) says its just a reference, but it looks adjustable.

It's adjustable with just a turn of the wrench.

I painted mine and it came out looking good but the paint I used comes off easily. I didn't sand it or prime it first.

Ordered.
Let the suspension modding begin!

Next up...Koni

Thanks for setting this up, Chris.

4 days left till the deadline.

KONI's are awesome....

3 days left

will it still cost 10$ shipping even if i live in montreal?

you guys that ordered one of these in this GB will really be happy when that little skinny box arrives at your house...it is a very nice piece and with the long list of suspensions mads i have it is really nice, and makes the rear end of the car feel complete and solid. when i instaled mine, i put silicon on the backs of the plates that go against the shock towers b/c the metal on metal creaked a little bit, and this cleared it right up.

Ben

Let me check on the Montreal.

Is there anyone else? I believe we have 5 total. Forgot to check the montreal thing. I'll do it today.

I just ordered one :-)

They are being made guys, just updating you.

Great! Maybe I'll just pick mine up when I go down there.

Thanks Keyser.

Sorry for coming late to this party, but I didn't see this one, and I'm interested.
Is this still open, or are there any cancellations?

There may be a couple of over runs that I can get to you. Let me check on Tuesday.

i purchased mine a bout 2 weeks ago and it stil hasnt cleared on my bankin account? can u make sure it went through.

I got one in the last GB, and it works pretty good. I say go for it if you are wondering what to do...

Thanks, Keyser. If there's one available, I'm interested.

I second that!

If you want one they will build one for you. I think the group buy link is still working so go through there to purchase.

I just received my strut tower brace today. SWEEEEEEEEET!!!! I will hopefully get time to install it tomorrow. Thanks again!

Mine was patiently waiting for me when I got home.

I "test fit" the bar tonight. I lightly tightened it over the carpet. I'll do the real install tomorrow.

First Oregon, then Minnesota; I suppose mine should be here soon as I'm in Michigan. Patiently waiting..,

For those who receive it before me, can we set up a thread in "suspension" section praising the virtues of having this brace in our cars

got mine today, cant wait to go hit up some twistys

Is this GB still open? Thanks

-Jeff-

The link is still up so I would have to say yes. Here it is if you want to get one.

RSB link

Id like to get in on this too...just need to know when and where im sendin the money to get it ASAP

Keyser got my GB cherry!

I was told that my rod should arrive this week.

Thanks Keyser, I can hardly wait to get that stiffie in my rear.

I got it on the first gb . definatly worth it .

If only my damn sub box wasn't so tall, I would have been all over this. Bah.

Looks like a good product, but there were no installation instructions with it. I've never installed one of these before so I'll try it this weekend & let you guys know how it goes.

I notice that the mounting plates have no holes in them. Is that right? This thing is just supposed to hold itself up against the strut towers w/out any bolts or screws? I know that it can if I adjust enough compression in there, I just though it odd that there was no mounting hardware.

I also installed new Autolite double plat plugs & Pro-fit wires last weekend. I've now got a miss under light acceleration - irritating

. I'm gonna pull em out, re-gap, test wires, & re-install. What a pain. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll return them & pick up some Motorcraft plugs & wires from the $tealer.

No bolts, no screws. Level it out and tighten the nut. It will hold itself in place.

I know that feeling. Mines somewhere between the sub box and amp shelf. How I pulled that off is totally beyond me, but I'm glad it fit.
