    If they are cheaper than IE's I'll chip in.

      It is looking like the initial offering price (in the kick-off group buy) will be in the $325-$350 range? (pending on the cost of molding/pouring new bushings, and powdercoat). We are aiming for a standard set price around $400/set at retail.
      Of course, this is all officially TBD, it may take a couple prototypes to achieve a bar that is really set up well. Only time will tell, we don't want to rush out a product to have it be inferior!

      The prototype will hopefully be done at the end of next week, and to the track we go!

        will the price include our choice of M3 style links or just standards? i have no problem cutting up a set of end links to make a set of adjustables.

            Make sure you have some kind of rear trailing arm mount reinforcement and body reinforcement int the rear. Also adjustable end links and bushings. You really need all that stuff for a solid kit.

              The bushings will be poly, and the bars will be 3 way adjustable. havent gotten to the reinforcements yet, but those should be easy as well.

              I'm really trying to keep the kit as inexpensive as possible, and am already realizing why other companies charge what they charge for a set!!

              The tenative schedule is to have these bars installed and driving on the track by Tuesday next week. We are pretty excited.

                          Well, the prototype bar is done, but, the endlinks are not. :(

                          hurry up and wait? I guess?

                            You should offer just a front bar too. For the dudes who like no rear bar. Im very interested though. Im long over due for a set of sways and itd be cool to have a part someone from r3v helped produce.

                                If you really want to do battle with the other aftermarket sway makers, come up with a thicker front bar for the IX!
