Wednesday, June 09, 2010 7:08 AM
I am starting to build them for B13/B14 guys and they love them. Would there be any interest here?

It will attach from the control arm to the frame to eliminate wheel hop. I can find a pic.

The cobalt and HHR pals go from the a-arm to the engine cradle. Their are tons of pictures around if you search cobalts.

Well, it will help with turning as well, it will keep the arm from any bit of flexing.

OK MARK !!!!!
Can you tell me how you got into my garage.
How do you steal my ideas only weeks after I start designing them!!!!!?????

I have a mock setup started, but im being sent out of town for work for about 4-6 months, so I wont be able to finish it for a while!
Mine will mosy likely be attaching to my custom ultralight aluminum front radiator support, being made as we speak.
But I leave next friday, so i will not have any eye candy for a while .....

Sorry guys

I'd be down for a set of them, but it won't be for a long time till I could purchase.
Be nice to just have them out on the market for us. I'm going to be building the motor, and won't be able to afford suspension parts for a long time.

One run to the parts store and we can build our own. Am i interested in them? Yes. Am i going to pay you to piece together something that i can do myself? Hell no.

While I have the same line of thinking as you on the subject, Keep in mind most people have little to no fabrication skills. Making it worthwhile to buy these in some cases.

Good luck Mark!

No fab skills are needed. It's the same as the RodEndSupply rear tie bars, only smaller. Just order the right parts and screw them together, it's not hard. The only thing that needs to be figured out is the length of the "traction bar" and that isnt hard at all.

would these be used instead of a sway bar or work with it?

also wondering where on the sub fram they might mount. they would have to point back due to there really being no sub frame in front of the ca. unless it went to the rad support area?
