That godspeed stuff is like an early megan. Their stuff is pretty good quality, but it's not that expensive yet because nobody really knows who they are. There was a 240 at the HIN (parking lot) here a few weeks ago that had a bunch of their stuff. Intercooler, these sway bars, I think he actually had the whole turbo kit. The stuff looked good. You cant really go wrong for the price.

Yeah i was looking at one of their fmic's with the inlet and ext on the same side looked pretty damn nice, i might pick a set of them up lol, cant afford not to lol.

[naed240sx]

they look like crap to me.

Welds in the middle of the rear bar?

Bushings that have strange ribs on them that won't fit in stock mounts, yet no mounts are included with the pacaging?

The endlinks on the bars are not oriented the same way as the stock mounts, so they would not fit either.

Edit: Just noticed, but either those are not s13 bars, or those bars will never ever fit.

I think the pic is just for reference. If you look at his store, every pic of his sway bars is that pic.

im goin buy it & try it, i have tanabe right now but i was considering to buy a stiffer rear "largus" long time ago. it might cause way too much oversteer for my setup 7/8 springs right now, but ill switch back to a 9 up front if it does.

Wait, hoooold on!

You are running 7/8 springs, with a tanabe rear bar and a stock front bar? You must be running a huge tire size stagger, or else you are already experiencing huge oversteer problems.

[sleepyRPS13]

no i have a tanabe front bar and i just installed the godspeed rear yesterday. i am running staggered but its not huge.

[sleepyRPS13]

arrived yesterday . painted red. light of course its hollow tube.

this the bends look like...

the D bushings. note they are not cut so i just lubed it (not oil) and slipped it on. also it does cease up when you tighten it without lubing it.

i drove around yesterday, with only the rear installed. there's really no point of installing the front, i have tanabe. seem like the rear likes to grip more. weird. but im still not done testing driving and satisfied with the handlin. maybe until something breaks

[Cpt_Impossible]

Keep us updated, for $140 bucks for the entire S13 set it seems like a steal.

SWEET like the man said keep us updated!!

I think I'm gonna try it. They couldn't be any worse than the stock could they? Plus like he said...you can't beat that price. But on the otherhand you get what you pay for.

[s13rb25det]

any updates? and did they come with link pins and bushings?

[240on430]

I need a rear sway bar, so if soeone only needs the front...let me know.

[adrianfromthecastle]

hmmm.. very skeptical about how the bends are thinner than the rest of the bar..wouldnt that affect the sway?

It's because those bars were bent using a crimp bender, not mandrel.

... and thats a good thing or bad thing? sorry, not familiar with crimp bender or mandrel

It's a bad thing. Same way with exhausts.

I was the first person to try out the sway bars. At first I was worried about fitment, performance, and the quality too, but it actually worked out very well for me. I even took pictures of the sway bars installed on my car for them. Once I install it on my car I felt a big difference.

For some of you guys out there who are talking a lot of trash, look at the price difference before comparing and crying about it. I'm very happy with the sway bars for the price I got it for. Flame on!

Here are some pix's of the bars installed on my car.





As you can see I'm still using my stock links, once I get those upgraded to new ones it should perform a little better.

[RB20DETodd]

looks good man! thanks for the pics!

[positron1]

Excellent...looks good!

[bo2o]

how did u get the front brackets to go on?

did you have any problem?

i just put mine in and the front bolts were a lil lose but the bar felt tight on there forshure...

and the car handles a little different

i dont feel the roll

only tested on the street no turns yet

when i make it lean left and rite from just swearing on the street i cant feel the extra weight transfer ne more, feels really smooth now. still has a little lean but all in all good. still have the same bushings on too imma buy new energy one's. there a 1.44 on courtesynissan if any likes to know. you'll need 12 of them for a s13.

the front bar is a bit lighter then the stock one too

[KoukiS14via]

sounds like an awsome deal! I was planning on getting the tanabe bars but now I'm having second thoughts. Anyone know if the front bar will clear a greddy oil pan on an S14 SR? According to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/N..._Bars , Largus bars don't fit with it.

When I installed the bars I didn't have any problems at all. Everything went on smoothly, maybe you had stripped threads on your bolt? Yeah, once you swap out the bushings on the links there should be very less roll.

My friend have an S13 with the oil pan and it clear the bars. I'm not sure about the S14 though, I'd imagine it would also clear but I'm not 100% sure.

[RB20DETodd]

Hey Mi sil80 are those bushings that the bars come with polyurathane or gay rubber like oem?

[mr.sil80]

They are rubber.

[sleepyRPS13]

you guys should be jumpin on this while the price is still stupid low. its like largus except for the front adjustability but way cheaper...imagine $496 for a set hah.

a polyurthane D bushing would be exrtemely stiff for such a large swaybar, that something would eventually break something. the D bushing that comes with the swaybars is already thin enough so no point really. but i do have polyurthane endlinks bushings.

[adrianfromthecastle]

on a lighter note... i just picked up my st front and rear sway bars for $210 yes... polyurethane w/ endlinks as well

and the reason why i didnt go with godspeed was this.... comparetheyre pretty heavy, but thats because theyre solid bars, not hollow. i think the newer ones (the green ones right?) are lighter because theyre beefier but hollow, so they even out.
