Will do tomorrow.

Reason this is taking so long is that the seller had the wrong amounts of left hand and right hand rod ends. I had 2 of each laying around but I'm still trying to find matching left hand fillets locally.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. NOBODY holds left hand fillets in stock. This is really pissing me off.

Here's the update;

I sent out 6 sets on Friday because that's all I had the RH/LH nuts to do. I made sure the seller included the extra fillets in the second shipment of rod ends that leaves today. So instead of doing two batches of 12 I made one of 6 and one of 18.

To be fair with everyone I went with whoever paid me first on paypal. I sent a PM containing the tracking number;

1.Vquick
2. Glenmoormax
3. Type3Max
4. BlackMaxGTR
5. 95MaxRider
6.Dman828

And everyone on the last batch:

7. MyMax97
8. Juani
9. Tlrmax
10. Russ1914
11. choray911
12. DonGfun
13. 95BLKMax
14. DR-Max
15. Xloki77x
16. SpeedyMax99
17. 96SleeperGle
18. DrStrove
19. Ewuzh
20. 96_Vqmax
21. Zero-K
22. Blackmaxx96

So there are 2 spots left.

I'm almost positive NCSU_MAX will take the last spot.
I'll call him right now... if he doesn't have any money, i'll go ahead and paypal you for his set. But put him on the list for sure. You'll have money in a day or two either way.

Thanks,

Mike

Wonder how easy it is to make these. I know a steel fabricator that could do it only if I knew what I was trying to make.

So do these mount from our front tow hook straight back to the hole in our control arm? So it goes at an angle? Which means we have to modify our plastic protective pieces to run these bars? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Will I notice any kind of difference in having the tractions bars being lowered 2.5 inches on D2s? I just drive on the street no drag or track. But I like to take turns fast.

Will there be any kind of rubbing issues?

Gains as in hp gains??? None! The traction bar does exactly what the name implies, improves front wheel traction by eliminating wheel hops.

Obviously not HP gains but definitely acceleration gains and better 60' and 1/4 mile times.

Exactly. I was able to pull a 2.02 60 foot on stock sawblades and all-seasons. Best before on street tires was 2.13. I always launched right off idle on street tires. I was unable to test them on slicks because by the time I installed them on my car last summer my slicks were extremely worn out (not to mention extremely unevenly - thank you broken VLSD).

I guess what I am trying to say is will I gain anything in turns on the street? I like to take turns fast. Will this improve my handling enough to notice on turns and be able to take them faster?

For turns you need a suspension upgrade and sway bars. You need to read up on the stickies.

3 out of about 30+.....
First thing you need to do if you have coilovers is get the car corner balanced and set at the optimum height.... Then build ontop of that.
Having coilovers that aren't set up correctly will hurt the car's performance more than it will improve it sometimes....

If you are on coilovers, then why does your car still look like a 4x4???

I have never updated my pictures. The car lowered about 2.5 inches and Ive done some other stuff. These pictures are from when I first bought the car.

I am not quite sure what you mean here. Maybe you could PM me or hit me up on aim mxrider52 and tell me what all that is.
