unfortunately, didn't have time to do it before solo II on Saturday, but got the time this afternoon. Phil did most of the work with brute force and air tools. he's so handy lately, doing most of the car installs now, so manly. lolanyways, it took longer than the 30 mins people told me, but there were additional brackets that had to be installed so it took longer. the cobb RSB is the new design as other people were having a lot of problems with rubbing or clunking. it feels a little different, definitely tighter of course. haven't had the chance to really test it out so, we'll see.the bar and brackets:stock sway bar and bracket:Cobb bar vs stock barreinforced brackets

Cool! And greaseable bushings too, very cool! Years ago I added an RK Sport to my Z24, big improvement. I am upgrading my car to Corvette Z06 front/rear bars, bushings and end links with a GM kit for $260 shipped...

It is a good price and I was shocked! It is coming from gmpartsdirect.com, if someone does not mind waiting, which I do not! As for autocrossing it, I am not sure but I may at some point! You and Phil certianly look like you are having a good time! Great husband and wife thing to do! I am serious! Even at the drags, Phils car may not be the fastest car out there but if he bracket races it and he would be consistant he could win some money! Mod money! LOL!!!

ya, someone was explaining how the bracket racing works. sounds interesting. if you can be consistent and know what your times will be, there could be some money in it.

well, next autox event is the solo II school on July 8. then the next day is an actual event. the school won't be timed so that kinda sucks. you don't know if you're improving or not. as for drag racing, not sure yet. i might want to go out and make a few runs on 4th of july. one of my customers runs a nos funny car out at the drag strips and invited me and phil out there to hang with them in the pit. whenever they do an event, you can go out there and also race. i've had the need for speed the past few weeks and kinda itching to let it loose. lol
