I was supossed to go to Eibach to have their new sway bar installed, the Engr. was to call me last week so I left a message to call me, so I called this morning to see if I could pick up the bar, was told the order has been cancelled. This Company will go out of business if they treat everone this way.

Sorry bout that Jay, but seems you were already warned, that that was probably going to happen.
I still can't understand why some people keep putting on rear bars, that do little to help the handling, and just don't put a bigger, better handling rear bar on, and be done with it. Going to just a 1" rear bar, does little in the way on handling on a SS. It does help a little, very little, but a bigger yet bar, such as a Powell Racing bar, is the best you can do, bar none. Powell Racing has lots of experience with our platform and does all of GM's suspension work, so you know you're getting the best deal on your handling.
Seems to me very few people on here have any idea just how a rear bar works, and what it really does. "Moon"
