Just loaded a few new items into the catalog.

Chrome-Moly tubular competition sway bars and Strut Tower braces.

Thinking we may introduce them with a group buy. Anyone interested?

Strut bar design looks good Billy. I have one comment for additional strength and appearance. Could you add a web gusset between the 2 strut mount holes on the main bar, then drill the web with different diameter holes? I can draw up a rough pic if you need more clarification.

Keep those aftermarket parts upgrades coming.

Do you have a price range for the new parts yet?

What I'm anxious for is the steering system that was hinted at, at some point

But those bars look good. Dunno if it'd clear my ISCRacing airbox though...

will the strut bar clear a GSL_SE airbox?

The way we have located the tubes eliminates the need for the gusset, it would just be added weight. A top view would show it better than explaining it but, the support tube on each end would be in compression in order for the tubes to spread from each other. The bars out there that mount on the two inner bolts holes allow the two points to pivot, hence the need for sheet to connect them.

They are in the catalog at $225 for the sway bar, $179 for the strut bar and $225 for the strut bar with firewall supports.


Soon...........


Do not see why not. Take a broom stick and lay it across the strut towers 2" in front of the alternator pulley. try to find something 45" long and it will sit on top of the towers at the correct height. This will show you the clearance.

How do you close the hood with those things sticking up like that? Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering....

Optical illusion from the picture. They are not that tall.

-billy

Manntis

so it'll clear a dual belt alt pulley as well?

So if the sway bar has a 10 pound weight savings over other aftermarket bars, is it lighter than stock?

Great work, and I look forward to the rack and pinion system, and the 4-lug big brakes. You guys rock.

Great looking parts billy! As jon said though the big thing I'm waiting for is the rack and pinion kit... Once that is released you'll be getting a HUGE order from me...

Yes it is 3 pounds lighter. Also, I would estimate it would be 5 pounds lighter than stock if it was the same rate.

This brings up a point I forgot to make earlier. We have the ability to build these bars in a number of different rates ranging from stock to higher than the normal 1-1/8" solid bars. I will run the calculations again on Monday and post available rates.

It is almost complete. We are finalizing the FINAL steering shaft and u-joint data currently. We are just exited as you guys on this. This month puts the system at 1 year, 3 months since designs started. It has a year of tweaking and testing at this point.


Another shot of the bar:

Great looking work Billy! I wish I hadn't already bought a RB swaybar, but I might be putting in an order for that strut bar. And now would be a very good time for you to let loose with that new steering system, because right now I've actually got the cash to move on something like that. lol.

I'll have to wait a couple more weeks but that sway bar looks nice, and I like that you'll powder coat in specific colors for free because of the wait, that is what I call a company standing directly behind their parts.

Even when I find parts and pieces at different places for less, I'll always give ReSpeed my $$ because you are a stand up, good people company!



I'd almost volunteer to take that RB bar off your hands Kentetsu but I want a ReSpeed bar myself

Kentetsu

Yeah, Respeed rocks. Every order I've made received personal attention, which is pretty cool these days.

And while the RB sway bar works great (best handling improvement from a single part), the idea that there might be something better is going to gnaw at me.

Kouryou

I'm going to be doing some autocrossing up here on NoVa with both SCCA and NASA. I've got a drivers school to go to on the 9th and while I don't figure I'll have the bar for that one, I hope to be able to buy it soon enough so I can give you some feedback on it as the season progresses.

It will be going on a car with Koni Adjustable struts / ASP springs, Tokico Illumina shocks and Racing Beat Springs, stock rear bar, and 205/60-13 Sumitomo HTR-200 tires (or maybe, 195/60-14 Falkens or Hankooks).

I am really looking forward to this Billy

Hope it doesn't gnaw too badly Kentetsu

Kentetsu

Those Sumi's are the same ones I'm running. Same size too. They didn't work for crap the first year, but now that they're almost worn out they're starting to get some more serious grip. Not sure that I would recommend them, but they sure are cheap. Probably would be a decent race tire if you shaved them...

MontanaKid

These are some awesome hordcore functional designs. I've heard nothing bad about respeed and after ordering a bunch of parts from Billy and being able to talk to him first hand and an use first names, everything I've heard was confirmed. He's always polite and customer oriented. Sweet products and they just keep getting better. A one of a kind company. Rock on Respeed!!!!!!!

Interested in a strut only bar. How much to ship to london ON, N5Y 4R8? If you can, use USPS so I don't have to pay duties. They are killing my budget.

What is the group buy price? How many have to buy also? You can put me down for group buy on strut tower bar-firewall.

Re-Speed.com

iTrader: (3)

The online catalog will calculate the shipping. We use USPS for Canada shipping for that reason.




What we have done in the past, and seems to work out well is 10% off with 10 confirmed customers.
