It seems odd that here on Oahu which is about the most isolated metro area in the world, both RS and myself have received and installed our sway bars, almost a week ago!

A thanks from me to all involved, allowing us to benefit from this.

As a rule I normally drive at 60mph on the freeway, there are a couple of turns that require most folks to slow down to about 50 or slower... but I've noticed that the handling is easier now, allowing me to control the car that much more. It was like this with my 540 after the strut tower brace was installed, it was a noticeable improvement. Plus the car seems to be more responsive at the steering wheel, it could just be me attempting to sense and gauge every moment on the road but I think it was a good purchase for the ti.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the bar Paul, I am too....especially now that I have new end links. And yeah, the quick movement of the wheel makes the car noticeably "dartier" if that is a word ha.

Also a thanks to Ludicrouspeed.

Spider, your bar is here, and I think I'd like to find the FedEx driver who lied. As I mentioned earlier, the driver left a tag on my door and marked "2nd attempt" when no first attempt tag was ever left. I called, they refused to make another attempt, so I had to go to their Beltsville location.

Just for kicks, you should see how many Beltsville locations they have. I went to one, waited 20 minutes for them to open Saturday morning, was told I was at the wrong place, drove down to the location behind the MVA, had "security" ask if I had a weapon before just waving me through their metal detectors (way to go, guys!), and then sat around for another 15 minutes until someone came out with a big ol' Eibach box.

So, I've got it - how/when do you want it (since I know you're on campus). Want it now or do you want to wait until after Turkey day?

Well, I'm not on campus during the day, I am doing a Co-op this semester with an engineering company in Hanover. Not sure what hours you are on campus, but I normally get home around 6. I can definitely take off early one day and meet you if that would help. I suppose I would like to get it before T-day just so that I can take it home with me, but if it doesn't happen it's not the end of the world.

Unfortunately, I can't do it tonight because of this paper (oh joy!) and Wednesday will be impossible with travel plans and all that fun stuff. How about Arundel Mills tomorrow evening? Let me know if that works out for you. If not, there's always the following week. It's a pretty big box too, so make sure you've got a little room.

That would be fine for me, what time can you be there? I work 5 mins from there so any time during the day would be fine too.

How about 5:30 near that outdoor world? I'll be in a little red wagon parked at the end of one of those rows (near the outer ring).

Just picked up my swaybar from Chookeat, this thing is beefy! I can't wait to install this bad boy. Thanks to all involved.

Default Kit Availability?

I just got off the phone with Eibach in America. They say they aren't showing any inventory on part number 2044.320, but they are expecting some to be in around in Feb. If you can confirm this is there a possibility for another round of 3+ orders?
I followed a lead after i ran into the kit on JEGS website and i called them. They were unsure about the availability because it was a drop ship and offered to call Eibach, but i called instead.
MSRP is like 429$ and Jegs has them for 379$, so if we can do a GB I'm in.

Check out EAS for a sweet deal on the H&R 28mm bar with the fancy bushings. $182.

For future reference, I'm leaving this link here;

it's a table of sway bar sizes by manufacturer.
