great job. loving the front lower. what type of materials did you use? and where did you get the fittings on the ends?

So how much did the handling improve with the additions?

Too big to look at

Maybe you could resize and repost further down. Then when I want details of something I can look for it in the absurdly oversized pics.

the material is water hardened mild steel. the bar is solid, not hollow. they sell them for 3 feet each, 34.99 a piece at Orchards hardware. they are also 1 inch in diameter.. i happened to have gotten them for free from my class hehe.

the ball joint ends where 3/8'' diameter thread and national's standard 24 fine thread. they were 6.99 each at orchard hardware.. no where else that i know of sells them besides ebay.

as for the handling, i havent test it out yet since i am waiting on new parts to replace my jacked up distibutor.

nifty... just wondering if there is any reason why the seats are in there with the pillar bars blocking access to all but a midget

the bars do block it. but if i remove the head rest, the front seat reclines comfortably under. i can always take it out when i m daily driving.


the hose clamps on the sway bar is to prevent it from shifting left and right. its doing an OK job of that for the pass 2 years, but i might replace them with something beefier
