Eibach.

Dave had an HHR as I recall showed him my new Air Filter, I gave Mr. Phong Diep the R&D Engr. I gave him the the Card ChevyHHR.net and the poster for the Tomms Farm g2g Nov. 5th so he has checked a little bit on site and plans to be at Tomms Farm.

After seeing the new mounting on the Eibach bar. Whoever designed that mounting, must have been sniffing glue. There was a lot easier and better way to mount it up. Being only a one inch bar, does'nt put that much force out anyway.[reguardless of what you think]. "Moon"

X 2, instead of 2 bolts, now there are 4...I don't see any improvement here..

I'm guessing it's still a hollow tube ??

I'll bet it ends up breaking, right where the flat is welded to the tube. Sure would'nt want to be following anyone with that setup. They just flipped up the stress point from horozital]sp] to vertical. Still weak. "Moon"

No welds as Eibach doesnt do any welding.

Christ! thats even worst. Can you say "Stress point". They should have just ran the bolts thru the bar. that way, no way can you break it. Do it like Powell did their bar. "Moon"
