I just ordered the material for 15 more braces. The material I have will just not work, so I am abandoning them until I find someone qualified to do the work.

These will be just like the last batch, with red ends and polished bars. I should get the material next week, and I will get on them right away.

I have about 13 people that have expressed interest in the past. The first 13 will be held for those, but I need to hear from them before next Friday, July 7th. Just shoot me an email, and let me know you are still interested.

The cost has not changed, they are still $50.00, which includes shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I ship FedEx and require a daytime phone number. The bars ship in a FedEx tube, and I ship ground. I can ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Canada, and overseas. I will just add the cost of the extra shipping to the $50.

There will be 2 or 3 that will not contact me, and I have 2 or 3 extras, so let me know if you are interested.

Of the 13 or so that expressed interest, 4 have responded.

I guess that leaves 11 up for grabs.

Y'all let me know if you want one.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST buying this outstanding mod. It takes 3-5 minutes to install and does wonders for steering response.

Do it.

Thanks for the props, guys. Feel free to post pictures of the bars on your cars.

I have listed one on eBay. It will run about the same price, when it hits the reserve.

The bars will ship nest Monday, if I have your money in hand or confirmation that a check is on the way.

mcastro is in the process of paying through PayPal.

That gives me 4 sold for sure, and many more up for grabs.

EDCARR, I will send you an email.

Here is the latest update:

I have 11 completed, ready to box up and ship. The following have paid, and the bars will go out this afternoon:

Ed WinnChan BahnDarren JamesonMario CastroKeith LewterBryan CarterAshley Phillips

Once I receive Terrell's money order it will ship.

There is one on eBay that ends this morning. As soon as it is paid for, it will ship as well.

That leaves 7 unpaid for, and ready to sell. 2 of these can ship this week. The other 5 will have to wait until next week.

Please let me know if you are still interested or not.

Thanks!

Jeff Williams

The following 10 bars are shipping today, via FedEx:

QdrvrnTNcientortasbmwkillerQue-45KDbanshee0866mgbmcastromaxwell867eBay

Teach42 has paid for the 11th bar, but I will not ship until July 20th.

RELLQ is sending me a money order, so his is reserved as well.

I have the parts to modify 4 more at the house, adn can do them this weekend.

skywise6854, showstopper and CrimsonQ, f you want one, PayPal me the money this week, or email me with all your information, and I will reserve one for you.

[email protected] I can make it for the active, I just cut a little section of the mount out. so you can fit it over the active lines. You will have to loosen the canisters, and possilby rotate the driver's side a bit to get the bar in position.

I may offer the last one to the second bidder on eBay.

Thanks for everyone's support.

If you have any kind of trouble, let me know. I strive for 100% customer satisfaction.

FSTB arrived this a.m. - I just finished installing it - took no more than 10 min. tops.

Cornering does feel more solid. Best $$ I've spent on my Q.

Downside to this is of course my front tires are going to be prematurely worn down to the cords due to excessive high speed turns!

Excellent job Jeff.

Actaully, now the front tires will wear more evenly. The outsides will wear out about the same time the insides are gone.

Glad you like it!

I have all of them sold (still waiting on 2 payments)

I may start up another batch, if I get some more requests.

I wonder if T3 would consider selling them to their G50 customers?

All the bars are sold. I have shipped 10 bars. I have 4 to ship today, Ed's will go out on Thursday, and as soon as Neil't money order shows up, his will go out.

It has been fun. I have the mods down to a science. Too bad there are no more from that vendor. I will have to find a new one.

If you missed this batch, contact me, I can start a new one soon. (I think this one took 6 months).

Don't forget to send me pictures of your installs, so i can have some fresh photos for my eBay auction next time. I am tired of using my car.

YUP. RHD and all too

I painted the end plates black myself, as they were sent with blue.

Great product. Once again, thanks Jeff!I have had mine for quite a while now, and can feel the difference, even with active suspension!
