    Why didn't you have the bars bent at those angles versus cutting and welding?

      I found one company that would but told me they start there minimum orders @ $300-, no exhaust shops have 1" dies for bending, Pluming & electrical guys say the pipe is to thick, and the thing they bend with would put a bend radius the size of half the pipe. The only other option was to buy a $90- Harbor Fright bender that needs to be secured down and I have no place to do that, not to mention that I have no clue if that would have even worked cause I've never bent a pipe in my life.
      So I didn't have the bars bent cause I did what I could do and the way I know how to get it done, just as I had stated before!

        Can you post a price? You have bars and proper pics. Post away

        On a side note, anyway of telling if this will fit on a v6 swapped pro/323/scort if using the pro/323/scort subframe?

                          I tried covering that, but here you go.

                          See my car. I've had a tie bar for awhile, I worry more about my bumper.
                          Anyone I know that has had or has a front tie bar on our cars won't go without one and loves the improvement in handling, I don't think any of us think about clearance as a major issue.
                          If anyone seconds this statement, please intervene and give your opinion.

                          Honestly: I really need to sell a bar or 2 soon to cover my 10 x 40 storage unit cost that my 2 favorite cars and all my parts, tools, and car stuff is in. I should have paid that by the 7th. Can't even really buy groceries ATM and I'm catching a lil crap from the girl cause of my investments. I was really counting on you guys here. Please help me out and buy some bars, PLEASE.

                                I think G.I thread should be replaced by WHMTP threads (who has money to pay). Myself, and alot of other people here on CP, can relate to having alot people interested in a good of some sort, and when the times come for a product to be produced and paid for, they are no where to be found. I understand that situations change, but you (the seller) has to be careful before fronting your own money.

                                The next sale i do (if I do), i'm doing deposits after the first initial set (my set) is finished. If the good is deemed to be unsuitable, the deposits will be refunded.

                                Heh, i'm done ranting. Check your paypal for my payment. GLWS.
