Hello- Anybody in here? Are these still available?

Thanks
Scott

Scott,

Yes I am still building them, but as of right now I am out of stock. I have a massive order in with my laser cutter so I can get these back in stock and out to you guys.

Thanks for the interest

We have a plasma cam. If your having a problem getting your parts in a timely manner we could help you out. I checked out Greg's (Hitman) before he installed it and I think we could handle your stuff. The plasma is how we make our strut tie bar feet.

Thanks so much for the offer...I kinda have a crazy hookup with my laser cutter though.

I now have these back in stock...I am taking a break from fabracating to give you guys the heads up.
I will be sending out e-mails here soon to cover all those who were waiting for me to get these back in stock.
You can contact me here or my e-mail is pjshobby@aol.com.

I'll be picking up my newest vert next week and would like to really stiffen the fron suspension and this really seems like a good product. If you have one available I'd love to pick one up.

Let me know if you have them in stock either by posting here or email daveoko@aol.com

just installed the bar yesterday and drove around today. It felt great. A lot of the play in steering is now gone, hence turn in is faster. My suspension's all stock but the difference is quite noticeable. There's also less wiggly movement when it goes over bumps.

Thanks Jonnie for a great product.

Installation note: when the front wheels are off the ground, the front sway bar moves forward and might interfere with the tension arm brace (like 1-2mm of clearance). Jacking the wheels up a bit might help. Best way is to drive the car up a pit, or use those autozone plastic ramps, so all suspension components stay where they should.

For the price, how much of a group buy do you want? It's one hell of a price as it stands...

My two buddies use them and love them.

Great product!

It's on the way buddy!

Thanks for the complements guys. I have had some great reviews with this product...Truly I have trouble building enough of them...lol.
If you guys did not love them I really could not sell them. This is kinda one of the problems that I have with the S14 one...Not that I do not think it works...I know it does. I just know how much trouble it is to install.
I will probilly do a small production run of these, but I will have to run it by Greg to find out what will be required to bring in a new product.
Thanks guys it realy means allot to me that you like my work.

Happy Holidays to all
Jonnie

Jon wants that S14 brace to be as easy to install as the S13 brace. So that is one of the reasons it has not been made into a production peice. However in my opinion it is ready for the public now. But that's how Jon is with his parts if they don't meet all of his personal criteria I.E. function, form, quality, price and ease of install then he isn't satisified. I think that with some convincing from me and others on here we can get them into production.

I can respect that. Maybe we could convince him to do a pre production run of the S14 parts, that way a few of us wrench monkeys can install it and do a private review, maybe an extra set of eyes and fingers will help make the final product better. Kind of like a Beta version for computer software. These are just my thoughts, in the end it is up to Jon. Im just trying to be crafty so I can get my hands on one before anyone else.

I installed mine today after work and I love the stiffness of the front. The hardest part of the installation was straightening my tension arm to fit the crush spacer bc the previous owner bent it and lining up the screws for the power steering (atleast I think that's what it was) attached to the arm and power brace. Great product overall. It was nice doing business with you Jonnie.

I'm almost positive that'd be a no. It goes exactly where the power brace goes, not to mention it does the exact same job as the nismo unit. Jonnie, these look great. Hopefully when I get some cash this will be the final touch to my front end.

Chris you are right. If you have a Nismo than you are set. It is a great product. My goal was to design something to give the same results as the Nismo and not cost quite as much.
Ok for all you S14 junkies... I have some good news.

This is the first of the version 3.0 S14 brace right out of the jig. This will still require you to drill your tension arm brackets to install it. I cut back the rear mounting tabs so the power steering bracket does not have to be bolted through the brace.

This first production run is pretty much spoken for. I wanted to do a small production run to make sure everything works before building a bunch.

Thanks guys
Jonnie
