It’s a shame that’s it had to come to this. I actually bought a set second hand and emailed the guy and he was very helpful. I’m shocked that he’s left some of you hanging.

Heath and Co. over at SBG to the rescue! What an asset to the community. Every time I’m in a pinch I reach out to Heath and he comes thru, We’re lucky to have such dedicated vendors who respond to the needs of our niche community.

Buy with confidence. These guys are the real deal.

That's literally why we booted these up... we needed these ourselves and for customer cars, but couldn't get a response. We tried for a number of months to do our due diligence and not step on any toes with making these as the design was really good, there we're just issues with production/execution, but overall it was a good concept. We made a few improvements such as m10 bolts for the sway bar mount (for some reason the stock ones are m8), and a few other optimizations. Anyway, no reason to let a good design disappear. We've been burned on GB's before ourselves... I know how it feels. **** happens and I'm sure this did not go sour intentionally

I also never received my widefoot mounts, and ended up just buying the SakeBomb ones instead. Totally worth it. I'm sad to have lost some money to David, but he obviously needs it a lot more than me - whatever problems he's going through, I hope he finds his way out.

We’ve got an updated version with increased holding power (larger bolt diameter) and a number of options available now Competition Billet Sway Bar Mounts (FD3S RX-7) - SakeBomb Garage LLC

All mounts are *black* anodized (ignore the raw finish, those were pre-production pics)

I think it's been over 10 years since I ordered mine. I ended up just getting the Sakebomb ones, which actually seem to be better designed in addition to being available!

The Widefoot ones are long gone, BUT... we took the Widefoot design and added a few tweaks such as stronger hardware etc. We still have a few left on the site. Order here-> https://www.sakebombgarage.com/compe...nts-fd3s-rx-7/

All parts are anodized mil-spec black, the photos only show the prototype in raw aluminum.

There are several people, including me, that paid for these mounts on a group buy and then he disappeared.

Yeah. It's long gone. No point in bumping an old thread. If you want your money back, get a lawyer and have him tracked down. Although it's probably not worth it.

Shoot us an email... our mounts are essentially an upgraded version of the widefoot mounts. Even though we were not affiliated with Widefoot, we'll help out anyone that purchased but did not receive their Widefoot mounts. Email info@sakebombgarage.comwith some sort of proof you paid... we'll offer discounted sets to anyone in this boat to help offset the loss.
