stealth71 Nov 12th, 08, 9:27 PM I like the sway bar. When will this be available?
Derek69SS Nov 12th, 08, 10:09 PM I like some of the products, but disagree with him on selling it only as a package... there's no reason those spindles wouldn't work with other arms. All the arms need to do is connect the dots... Selling as a package works great for a complete ground-up build, but a lot of us are on budgets that don't allow buying everything at once, or already have some components.
I'd be interested in that sway-bar :)
V8TV Nov 13th, 08, 12:07 AM I Believe all the parts are available now, but you'd have to email them or call to make sure.
I was wondering about the spindle because of the dropped height affecting camber, which is corrected by the upper arm length. Perhaps Kyle can give us some more insight on this in the future.
showbiz Nov 13th, 08, 3:18 AM Very good info , thanks for sharing,missed their booth.
LS_5 Nov 13th, 08, 8:36 AM I can't imagine what the packages cost! :eek:
I wish they were available a few years ago, though, when we were making suspension decisions. Knowing what I know now, they might have been worth considering instead of the Global West parts. The idea of eliminating suspension bind and adding some strength to the frame at the same time with the rear package would be great - at least if it didn't cost more than my first house!
animal69 Nov 13th, 08, 8:42 AM They're not cheap! They have them on their website.

Front package is pricey, but the rear doesn't seem terrible. Not cheap, but not ridiculously expensive. Front, though, is out of my price range.
stealth71 Nov 13th, 08, 9:02 AM Damn.
1964 - 1972 A-BODY 031404 - SPLINED SWAY BAR KIT $800.00
Hope that comes with lube.
V8TV Nov 13th, 08, 12:46 PM Not cheap stuff, but it's not cheap stuff, if you know what I mean.
The WidowMaker Nov 14th, 08, 5:00 PM it is sticker shock, but when you add it up, ive almost spent that on my stuff. the one i dont understand is the swaybar. 800??? maybe 500 but 800 is pushing it a little too far. i have 300 in my splined bar from speedway. not a bolt on deal, but not 800 either.
ill also echo the opinions before, it needs to be sold both as a package and individual parts.
