Strano Hollow Swaybar Pricing information, Pending increases when current stock is gone Options

[Sam Strano]

In stock bars are priced at, and will continue to be priced at these points until current stock runs out:

Front: $199
Rear: $189
Set of 2: $399 shipped to the lower 48 via ground ($379 plus shipping other places)

I Was informed today that prices for the next run of bars will be increasing to me. I've swallowed the last two increases, this one I have to apply.

When the current stock of bars is gone, the new prices will rise by approximately 7% due to the cost of steel and shipping. That will make front bars around $210 each, rears around $200 each. Sets somewhere around $410 (shipping will not be included at that price).

This will also effect the price of any kit that uses these bar, such as some of our HP kits.

I wanted to give you fair warning, I don't like to have to just charge you more, and prefer to give you the opportunity to buy the parts for a lesser price is possible.

How many front bars do you have left in your inventory?

[Sam Strano]

About 15-20 I think, not where I can see 'em right this second.

What is the details of these bars? Size? weight? How mauch different than the 1LE bars?

Lighter than solid bars.

On the order of 30% stiffer than a 1LE front (which is hollow from GM, as are all the fronts), about the same increase in stiffness on the rear vs. a stock 19mm. My 22mm hollow rear is basically the same stiffness as a 21mm rear, but 6 pounds lighter because all stock GM rears are solid (that's all unsprung weight).

So Sam... lets say I've got your springs and bushings with Koni SAs (which i do) with stock everything else and I really like the feel of the car as it is. What would both of these bars generally do to the handling? Oh, and the bushings... are those poly or rubber?

[Sam Strano]

Well, the car will roll less and change direction faster. The car would also become a little more balanced at the limit and it takes some abuse off the front tires.

They are really the only big suspension part left that I have on my car and you don't. I certainly can't tell you your car sucks without them, but I'm quite sure you'd like it better with 'em. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
