Description:

*Not actual bar - just an example for reference with zinc plating*

The bar has 4 bolts for the "center" mounts and 1 for each end link for a total of 6 bolts. I can see a slight working space issue with the 2 center mount bolts just before the muffler. Other than that, it's straight out bolt & play. The same bar works for both the coupe and sedan.

Addco product description:

The result: your vehicle will lean less and handle better and more predictably!
-You'll have better control when maneuvering through lane changes and tight turns!
- Each bar is manufactured from high carbon steel, hardened, and stress-relieved.
- Mid and end link bushings are all urethane.
- Includes lifetime limited warranty!
- Includes Urethane Bushings!
- Gives Your Vehicle Flat, Tight Cornering!
- Balances Out Understeer!
- Provides Dramatic Handling Improvement!
- Manufactured Under ISO9002 Regulations!
- Lifetime Limited Warranty!

****Will build the 7/8"bar for $132. Please note that this would not be available without a minimum of 20 buyers.****

Production time frame is said to be around 6 weeks..
Questions:

- Payment method: Send payment via paypal to founders@legendarylegendz.com
- Please remember to confirm your shipping address

- How many people?
- Group buy ends when we have 20+ people.
- Deadline: March 22, 2004

- When will you have the product?... approximately 4-6 weeks production.
- Please factor in 1-2 weeks shipping (when it's in your hand).

What's the advantage of buying from performance center.com?
The Addco sway bars are a superior quality (the only manufacturer that makes a '91-'95 Legend sway
bar.

For our Canadian Members, we will have to see how many are going up there, and figure out a way to do this (I guess similar to the KMS Strut Bar group buy), to ensure that the shipping will not cost much more, and if so, how much more.

- G1 guys, Let me prove that the G2 group can pull this off. That way, we can ensure that we have a strong reputation. I will not forget you. Meanwhile, you can start a poll with names/email addresses.


Thanks everyone. I am pleased that you are pulling this together. Let's show the world that we mean business. Make sure you get your money in asap

Leon: with the KMS bar, we tried to get some sort of group shipping, but I ended up just getting it shipped direct. It was like $5 more ... I can handle that. I just want to make sure that ADDCO can ship via USPS so I avoid the stupid broker fee. Let me know what you find out.

Price sounds good guys. let me know if you can tell a deff when you get it. if so than I am in

Thanks Leon
 
#61 ·
Oops, Volk, I had typed up a response earlier and hit reset form...I thought I caught everything (long day). Listen, if it helps you, I can have your bar shipped to me, and you can meet me to pick it up. How does that sound?

Thanks 9000 and everyone else. We are starting to look good

Got2loveme: this pricing is with the group buy. I do not think you will get that price for a one-off, it will be significantly higher. Therefore, the demand needs to remain high to get good pricing. If we dwindle off, it will not look good. I recommend you jump in now vs. risking having to wait for another group buy

Folks... I want in on this too!!! Just need to figure out the cash situation,,, What with having to do my Clutch all of a sudden, funds are super tight!

But put me down, with payment on the 19th of March.... Last friday before Deadline...

Thanks for arranging this!

I hope the sway bar in the picture is not the one everyone will be receiving, because if it is, it wont fit.

Look at the differences, not only are the bolt holes mounted the other way, but the bar is bent completely different.

I have a question about the cost of the bar Leon Millette.

This is what you posted as the price break down.

Payment break down:
$132.00 - bar
$13.50 - shipping to the CONUS (Canada/International Extra - please verify shipment fees with me)
$3.96
Total: $149.46 each


You had said the normal cost of the bar is $150. So with the price break down above that is a savings of .54 cents correct?

So would it be right to say that basically we would be paying normal cost and just be getting free shipping on the bar? Still a good price though.
 
#71 · (Edited)
Please remember this bar is going to model the one that was on Ka8Legend's car. I will do a test fit to ensure that the product is indeed righteous as I did with the KMS bar. The normal price is much higher than 150 + shipping, as they would cost significantly more since we are a niche market, and they are not mass produced.

I would appreciate it if we can stick to the facts. The discussion thread is here.

And yes, the bar has been test fitted

Leon,
Thanks for taking over!
The vendor basically needs one of us to represent and collect the funds for this groupbuy (of at least 20) so that she can pre-order the correct inventory from ADDCO. The prototype for this solid 7/8" rear bar has already been tested (good for 150% stiffness over the stock hollow 3/4" bar) and is ready for production. We have shown tremendous interest here and bottom line is "show her the money". By pre-ordering now, we're guaranteed thru PerformanceCenter.com the available stock and the groupbuy price of about $132 plus shipping. Feel free to PM either me or 9000 if you need her addy or furthur assistance.
I would appreciate it if we can stick to that to ensure a good group buy. I am not gaining anything from this. Just want to ensure we are good to go.

Leon, you probably don't hear this enough but thanks for all that you do for the Forum. I don't know of many people that would have stuck around in the capacity that you have after getting rid of their Legend. Coupled with the fact that you've brought Jasmyn back, that makes it all the more impressive.

All hail, Leon!:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
 
#74 ·
Phil, there is a pic (actually 2) of the actual installed bar in the first post of this thread. I think the purpose of the first pic is to show (1) what the kit components are and (2) what a zinc plated bar looks like since the prototype was black. Correct me if I'm wrong, Leon---

Quit hatin' on Leon.:p Everybody's gonna buy your tie bar, too---:D
