Its brand new never installed I bought it off an oger . I took it out to see if it would actually fit since i have headers and it didn't, it would have to be modified to fit. (the oger and I did a search the oger and it said it would.)

I bought if for $90 Shipped.

 

Well worth the money,....BUMP! GL with your sale

 

thanks for the bump.

 

What is this and what does it do.

 

This is from BlehmCo's website.

"Stage I
This is a bar that ties together the bolts on the front lower control arm gussets, providing sharper steering response and less chassis flex in corners. Handling improvements are very similar to installing a strut tower brace, which you can also add on the top of the suspension to tie the front end together really well!
The only drawback is that you lose a bit of ground clearance- but since it sits between the front wheels, the only time you might have a problem is when driving over extremely uneven surfaces. I have had the Stage II bar (see below) on my car for six months now and have only scraped it three times- all of which could have been prevented had I been paying more attention while going over extremely rough roads."

 

Bump because this guy is awesome

 

This is definetely a must have if one plans on adding the RSB as well. I also have the Stage II and what a difference it makes. Works better than the FSTB IMHO. GL with the sale!!!

 

Thanks Guy ! Hopefully it sells so it could be used. Its just sitting here .

 

I'm interested in this however I have hotshot headers on a 5.5 gen, vs your cattmans on a 3L. I've heard that only the stage one fits maxes with headers. I'm going to look around for a bit. Dave how hard is this process if necessary?

 

its not to hard.

First I bent the LTB straight
cut it in half and welded in a 1" extension
and then bent the passenger side a good portion to make it reach the bolt.

 

Thanks Dave.

 

Dave, How is the ground clearance?
Is there any chance you would be willing to help me with this?


For reference these are $65 + shipping on his site http://www.mattblehm.com/suspension.htm

 

I paid 90 bucks i have my receipt , I guess i kinda of got ripped off cause i missed that on his site before buying it off this oger.

Ill do 80shipped.

 

my ground clearance is fine.

Since it is in line with the wheels, it moves up and down with the wheels when going over bumps

 

Todays Bump

 

How is it installed? Using OEM bolts? Could I do it with jack stands?

 

Basically it hooks your LCA together for sharper turning. When you raise the car up you will see the bolts. You can use your OEM bolts and washers, unless you decide to change them. Yes you can do the install on jacks. Hope that helps.

 

Manual Tranny
5-speeds have it easy. remove the two LCA bolts and install. Tighten bolts.

Auto Tranny
Autos, (like me), need to drop the LCA by loosening the 4 bolts and then remove
the two bolts. Install, tighten two bolts and raise LCA by tighening up the 4
bolts. The tranny is in the way of the two bolts and that the only way to get
them installed.

Impact wrench would help.

PS. And yes, I have an LTB I waiting install (Auto), just wanna get my SFC and other goodies ready first.

 

Thanks for the Extra info ..

 

still up for sale.

 

ttt

 

Sunday bump .

 

This mod makes a world of difference.

SOmeone needs to grab this, matt isn't going to make these anymore

 

Great Guy A++ to deal with. Free bump!

 

still up.

 

yeah someone oughta jump on this. if i wasnt done adding weight to my car i would be ALL over this. i was real close to buying a stage 2 like three months ago but decided with what i have the handling is good enough. but really, this will make any setup better (unless you have an ltb stage 2 obviously) even if you are coilovers, fstb, rstb, rsb, weight reduction, etc. this will STILL tighten it up and feel better.

(bump)

 

thanks sunstream , I really want this on my car but the damn headers get in the way . I rather someone take it and can be into good use.

 

up for sale still.
