Honestly, even if they run $200 per bar it's a steal.
The specs are the same as the Speedbuilt-branded bars that PFYC used to sell. I've found them to make the car handle great and be very balanced. Keep in mind that anti-roll bars are meant to complement siffer springs/dampers and sticky tires, but once you bolt them on the handling improvement is amazing.
Ask anyone who has gone on an "Oh, shit!" ride with me. :)

there is no deadline set yet so even if we already have 25 in on the bar(s) you want you can still get in on this. There will be a deadline eventually so really the sooner the better as you will be paying more later on if you don't get in on the group buy.

dont mean to thread jack but, whats the difference with solid, hollow, thickness of the bars? are having thick solid bars better than small hollow ones?

sorry, just really intereted in this buy :)

not really sure I can explain properly but... hollow bars are hollow (duh.. lol) and therefore give/bend easier than a solid bar. The thicker the bar the harder it is for it to give/bend.

^ I don't think you could explain it any easier than that ... lol

Rear bars must be solid due to how the end links are designed.

Front bars could be hollow but would need to be thicker to get the same results as the hollow bar.

also hotchkis wont make bars for us so I don't understand at all what your point is.

Good information here.
I agree that hollow anti-roll bars are preferable for the weight savings (less unsrung weight is always a good thing).
Mark already pointed out why a hoolow bar won't work in back. The front bar has issues with space constraints. Even a 1.125" (28.6mm) bar is very tight - where the bar is bolted onto the front subframe with the midpoint brackets, it is in very close proximity to both the front edge of the unibody and he steering rack. You might be able to go a smidge larger (early on, Mantapart suppsedly made a 30mm bar that fit in there), but I'm not certain what engineering challenges that would entail.

Sorry Mark, I wasn't trying to make a point.

That is 25 of each now. If you still want in on this please feel free to post up until the deadline we get from Eibach next week.

Hell Yeah ... Thanks for setting this up mark and thanks to everyone that included themselves for making this happen.

now we have 25 front and 26 rear spoken for :)

talked to my contact earlier today and he confirmed that they now have the stock bars on hand. So this time tomorrow I should be posting price and deadline date.

Front and Rear please and thank you:coolio:

done

Thank you lvemy3100! Im glad more people are helping to improve the alero community.

I would still like to get both a front and rear bar.

done

Price for the GB is 185+ shipping each. This price includes mid point bushings.

Listing is up on the store for payments:

Rear Bar - http://mpracing.org/store/index.php?...&productId=550

Front Bar - http://mpracing.org/store/index.php?...&productId=549

Just paid for my set. Any idea on time before they're ready for shipping?

we need everyone to pay up so that I can send the money to Eibach for the production run. Looking at 2-4 weeks from the day the last payment is received. So if you know someone who is in on this but hasnt made payment you might want to get after them to do so ;)

Holy effing crap!!!

Wish I would have know this in the first place :(

Guess I'm going to be to be tearing into the suspension again even after I'm done installing the new air-ride system. Oh well it's not to hard to install these just didn't expect the required time to produce them and now I'm hoping they're going to be worth the money and the wait.

just ordered both of them PLUS urethane front control arm bushings and a rear strut tower bar. have a front already. Thank you for making this possible! :) woo woo!

Any updates yet? ...

i have 3 ebay auctions ending soon and i'll pay. i just need a couple days.

the only update I have is there are only 9 bars paid for total (including mine)


sounds good

i'm taking the rear bar for next weeks and tomorrow talking to a friend of mine that need a set to give him the info about this

Question: Will these be shipped to you first after they are completed? Or will they ship straight from Eibach to us?

from what I was told the bars will be shipping from Eibach.

Is there still time to get in on the group buy, if so I'm interested in a front and rear.

Paid!

If you want in go to the links in the first posts and make your payment ;)

The deadline I am setting is if we dont have all the payments by the 14th of August I will have all payments refunded to everyone who made them by no later than August 21st

AUGUST 14th DEADLINE TO GET ALL ORDERS IN!

figured i would help highlight that ;) I WANT THOSE BARS DAMNIT! lol

So who has ordered them already ??? I just ordered them myself.. hope there is gonna be enough people that has prepaid... looks like there is only 7 front paid and 8 rear paid...

i havent paid yet, but ittl be in before the 14th

Been away for business.. i'll pay before the 14th

Do you really need 25 of each bars to get them made by eibach ?????

x2???

The minimum order is 25 per bar. We don't need 25 of both to get either made.
