GOT MINE TODAY VIA FEDEX!!!

Drove the car to feel the original turnin and body roll.

BOLT-ON IN TEN MINUTES!!! _ Excellent instructions!

If Neo were here......WHOA!

Instant improvement !!!!! The turnin is sharper with (IMHO) a littleless roll.

Thanks Jeff!!! (looks way cool !!)

Pre-tensioning it whould help, but may cause alignment issues. I just bolt them on with the car sitting level, and adjust them as tight as possible.

For street use, I doubt it makes a huge difference. On the track, 15# of weight transfer is a HUGE deal, so every 1/4 turn of suspension adjustment makes a difference.

By the way, the lot of bars are all sold, or accounted for.

20 sold and shipped1 on eBay (not sold yet - anybody's game)2 ready for shipment as soon as Ben and Sal's money is in2 on hold for ozzie! or BlackbirdVQ. Whoever gets to me last gets the test bar with the extra holes in it.

If the following still want one, I can start another batch, or you can bid on it on eBay:

Great! It is my pleasure to help out the NICO brothers, and Q45 owners wherever I can.

Here is an update:

Ben and ozzie have paid, and Sal's check is in the mail, and BlackBirdVQ just paid me for the last one. So, Batch #4 comes to a close. I still have a copule that were interested, so I will start Batch #5 right now.

I will start a new thread...

Got mine today also. I plan on putting it on this afternoon and then taking off on a business trip from Sacto to Santa Cruz, over the mountians on hwy 17. Should be a fun drive. I'll let you know how the Q handles.

Hehehe w're both lucky. You had it adressed to 911 ...and im at 811. I tracked the package, it was delivered about an hour and a half before I checked fed-ex.

I ran over there, It was still on the porch.

Thanks for the hard work!
