Racingline Update
hey guys I know this is long over due and I apologize, as many of you know my wife and I had another baby on feb 8th, so between that, work and racingline stuff it's been insane.
That said here is the long awaited news on the strut bars.
they will be delayed until mid march. i am really sorry about this. The factory did make me a sample but it was a little off from the samples I had provided a well as my cad drawings I had supplied. The factory making them is not local to me, so that takes some time as well. However Be very confident that the people making this for me/us are very capable. To be honest they are being made by the very same factory that is making strut bars for CUSCO and GREDDY. This is not an embelishment in any way.
Details on final layout. The bar is aluminum as you know. It will also be a chambered hollow bar. Don't think for a second though that hollow aluminum will flex more than I had promised though cause it won't. There are actually ribs inside the bar for added support. here is a pic for reference.
Colors:
for preorder people only there will be several color choices that will be custom for you, choices include ANY combination of
-Bars will come in flat black, brushed (like stillen), and fully polished.
-end brackets will be flat black, metallic blue, and metallic red (no it will not match sonoma red, and will be slightly darker than code red)
you may choose red brackets with black bar, or blue with polished, or blue with black. The choice is YOURS!
Production versions however will polished with blue, black or red ends, and all flat black. There will be some limited brushed options as well but will most likely not be re-ordered once they sell out.
Because of the delay if you ordered other items with the bar they will be shipped out to you this week if you wish.
Feel free to email or post any question you may have.
Thanks for the trust and patience guys

preorder is still available as long as the link is active, I will be pulling it down soon though.
MMI's will for sure work on the front, still have to test the rear out but I think it will fit.

Taz, received my motor mounts and installed the front one only (back is a challenge but eventually I'll get to it). What a B!tch to install. But I love the mod, even with just the front one installed it has a tighter feel and less lateral movement, especially when I punch it. Great Job!!!

Strut Bar
I've been looking for one of these and didn't want to install the Stillen one as I heard it doesn't quite fit and rubs in reverse. I'm getting new struts and springs installed tomorrow, so I wish I had it today. However, $72 is CHEAP, so I guess that I'll have something to look forward to in March!
Just placed my pre-order and paid via Paypal. Congrats on the baby and my 2005 Black on Black Maxima thanks you!
