My bars are as follows:

Front. 35mm tubular. 3-way adjustable. New bushings and brackets.

Rear. 22mm tubular. 3-way adjustable. New bushings and mounting hardware. Bolts on with no modifications to the car or axle.

The position of the adjustment holes, and the wall thickness of the tubing were things I played with extensively until finding what I feel gives the best combination.

There are lots of aftermarket bars available in that price range... Sam's are light and adjustable (big plus in my book) and as a bonus you get his proven record with these cars.

Tiger I'm not too far from you. I think we've spoken before on callouts or nosr. I have the front sway and radiator support, struts, shocks, springs, LCAs, bump stops, driveshaft, and a few other misc. parts off of my GT. The rear sway will be coming off soon to make room for a BMR extreme launch control kit. You can take as much or as little as you want of my used parts for $250 if you're interested, pm me. All parts have less than 11,000 miles on them.

More than I'm allowed to say, unfortunately. Look for it in 5.0 mag real soon. Watch for the '11 GT500 that Cody's been working on as well. Another friend of mine. Should be beastly.

So this is what you are talking about, right? Is it all just an easy bolt on?

Solid red. No stripes. It's no secret that it has a 3.4 liter whipple under the hood, but I don't know how much of the rest is classified, lol.
