When I get in my wife's SS/NA and we leave the house I can see mine. That's probably because it is not black. My car is parked next to the curb. That means when we leave in her car we go up into the street a little. I'm not complaining, just mentioning that I can see it.

Again, I love this product. There is a certain freeway offramp I use on my way home from work. Before I got the bar I would be afraid to push my car over 80mph on the first turn, then hit the brakes and get down to about 40-45 before the second turn and take the second corner, then hit the brakes again to stop before I went into the intersection. If anybody was around I would never do this. The other night I had the opportunity to see how it would handle at 90, then hit the brakes, then take the second turn, then brake again and come to a complete stop. The car handled it marvelously. However, I def won't be doing that again. It was too fast for my comfort. This was with 2 slicks for racing, 2 tool boxes, and 2 tool bags. So, even with a load the car still handles great.

I have to say that this sway bar is FTMFW!!! I put it on for an autox this weekend, and once i got used to how the car handled, i dropped 3.5 seconds off my time!

I autox in the NEPA region of the SCCA, but that is a little to North for Pennsburg but,

You either run in region 92 or 97

Region 92 is the Susquehanna SCCA and 97 is the Blue Mountain Region, but I don't know if they are having events.

Susquehanna is a good place to run, alot of awesome guys there, sometimes a buddy of mine and I make the trip down to the Park City Mall event.

EDIT: Ya it is a blast lol

Got my baby on too. It was good for low speed tight cormers high speed corners still have some issues with, but most of that is from the front end still. the rear is pretty damn good, my brother was following and said the ass was flat.

great product!

can we get a 1.25" front bar? these cars would really benifit from it.

This bar is great, cornering was improved nicely.

My bar is making some noise though. In reverse when turning. It's like a loud whining noise, anybody know what it could be?? Did you guys grease anything up when installing the bar?

How do you know it is the bar?

Nothing really "moves" on the setup.

Sure it is not your brakes....

I'll check again, but it's happening right after I installed it. It was raining yesterday when I heard it so I didn't want to check. I hope it's not my ebrake sticking. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great product though

EDIT: doesn't look like the noise is there anymore. I doubt it was even the bar.

This sale was for those who "waited before they even started shipping" called a pre sale.

Best we can do is $15.00 off the sway bar now that they are in stock, we PM'd you the code.

If anyone else is interested you can PM us.

Sorry for reviving a dead thread. The TTR rear sway bar is good it deserves it.

Okay, I've had this bar on my SS/SC since they first came out. Still love it! In fact, I love it so much that I shared it my car with my wife. She loves how my car handles too. So, I got one for her SS/NA sedan and put it on there a few days ago. She is still grinning ear-to-ear. She also has the DC strut bar (sorry Aaron, got for a really good deal from a friend). Her only only comment isn't really a complaint, but something that she feels needs to be addressed for the FE3 suspension. She said the front end feels a little light now, but still handles enough for defensive driving during rush hour with all of the aggressive drivers out here.

Thatnks for such a wonderful product Aaorn. Btw, I had mine still on the SS/SC when I managed to get into the 130mph club on 9/18/08. It was beneficial for exiting the track because they didn't make it long enough and many people were not able to slow down in time to make the turn, same as me. But the cornering abilities saved me there.

^^ Thats the same problem I felt when I put my Progress rear sway on my 2.4. I took my car on my "test turn" and the rear just kicked out. Now, after removing the sway bar, I can take the turn faster and with no kick. I think the sway bar is simply too much for the 2.4, it doesnt really help it.
