I've seen a few threads about the Mugen bar and I myself have been looking to order one. So everyone that is looking to purchase one, please post something here and Mike @ IPS Racing will see if he can do something about a "special", assuming we can get enough interest!!! There is no pricing now, this is to guage interest, so don't ask how much. At least not yet.

So.. Count me in

 

What about the Front 26mm as well?
Can we get a comb deal for ordering the front and rear?
I'm interested, if the price is reasonable!

 

Count me in for one 26mm rear bar!

 

I'm not ready to upgrade my suspension yet, but if the price is right on the 26mm rear sway bar I'll buy one now and store it in my room.

 

Probably.

 

Depends on the price!

 

Ditto.

 

FYI:
For those with stock suspension, 26mm rear bar is not a good idea.

 

Count me...

Doh! nevermind...

 

OT: Can you expand on why its not a good idea? Is it because you'll get too much oversteer instead of a neutral response?

 

raises hand

 

I had stock suspension with the 26mm bar for a while. It definitely generates a lot of oversteer, although I found it to be controllable. Still, I would not recommend it with stock suspension.

 

If your suspension is not stiff enough, the bar would be resisting all the roll and causes a lot of stress on mounting points. It may cause damages, like those Civics or GSR with ITR sway bars. The bracket might rip right out.

 

I think that's when everyone began to call me "crazy Ed" ... Deal's Gap with a 26 mm Mugen rear bar!
Learned a LOT that weekend!

Yes, lots of oversteer at the slightest provocation.
Might be nice/good for dodging cones, but not for any really fast spirited driving unless you really know what you're doing.

why not?

 

never had a problem, and mine has been on for about 4 years....

 

What kind of car you have and with what kind of bar?

(not sure if you're referring to Civic/GSR with ITR bar, or ITR with Mugen bar)

 

I guess there are mixed reviews about the rear bar on stock suspension but most H-T'rs say it okay on stock sus.

I've also had mine in with stock suspension for over a year with no problems either. It does make the back end easier to bring around so you do need to be careful until you get the hang of it. Not a problem with stock suspension, IMO.

With the recent addition of my lowdown suspension, I have been able to tame the back end some, while still keeping it more active than stock. I use my car for street only, so YMMV if ou track the car at very high speeds (100+)

 

heh, i'd be interested in the flood of stock rear itr bars coming from this buy..

 

Maybe some of the 26mm buyers will have some 22mm AND 23mm available!

Chris - who will keep is 23mm for the time being.

 

Just wanted to Thank StageOne for posting for interest in this

I could possibly do something for those who want the front as well but it will negate the effect that the rear bar will give you. What I suggest to most people is to try out the rear bar first then if you decide you want the front bar as well, we can put that on order as that is a Special order item only.

 

BTW I will work on the pricing for all of you tommorow.

 

StageOne

Mike, I sent ya an email about some other items both StageOne and myself are interested in. Thx

 

Many thanks to Mike M
