    rear shock tie bar

    I was just browsing ebay and I came across these, it looks high quality. Just thought I'd share.

      Looks like the bar South Bay Indpt. was claiming as theirs?

              looks like that bar is hell of a lot more functional than mine

              I don't think my bar does anything. Joran, what do you think? At least it looks kinda cool... i guess.

                  Those are being sold by the fabricator of my bar. I ordered 12 and he sent me 24 and got pissy when I wouldn't pay for the extras. Now he's selling on ebay to recover his loss.

                      And, for what its worth, thats about the same price I was selling them for. I still have a bunch left if you guys want them.

                      My boss and I desigened that bar last summer because putting solid rear shock mounts was putting us in danger of ripping out the holes on the race cars. Teh bar itself is pretty useless; it's the end plates that are golden.

                              JT Design makes the best RSMs right now. I don't like the GC ones because the rubber/urethane they use on the bushing part is too stiff and it can bend the shaft of the shock. The rear shocks need to be able to swing back and forth a little bit with the suspension movment and the JTD mounts are designed with this in mind.

                                  Seems like a waste of money. I'd pay $50 max.

                                      Definitely not a waste of money, I intend to have front and rear strut braces on my car.

                                          On 90% of street applications, yes they are a waste of money (the rear bars at least).

                                              I disagree. Actually so does Adam.

                                              The bar itself is pretty useless; it's the end plates that are golden.

                                                  Man those end plates are hefty, now I got another new toy to look at pruchasing. Damn you.
