Does he offer this with a bronze/rubber bushing option? I don't want/need bearings back there.

 

He sent me the same spread sheet and pictures today also. I'd be in but I got to wait and see how bad my shock bill is first. I'm getting the hollow bar and the modified 3 stiffest settings only arm also. I'm gonna run it on full stiff


Whats the miata bars rate at the wheels?

 

Well if the stock AP1 bar is 426lbs/in and is 168 at the wheel, that makes the ratio .394. Multiply that times 141lbs/in for the MX5 bar and you get 55lbs/in at the wheel.

 

Does anyone know the direct replacement item/part number from McMaster/Carr of the endlink used on the Gendron bar? Mine snapped, and need to get another one. Trying to get it ordered before xmas, so trying to order asap, and didn't have time to measure the hole size/length. TIA.

 

I'd like to know this as well.

Eibach is 368 lb/in and 416 lb/in $175

Whiteline is supposedly 50% over stock but that was from a thread I read. $220 with upgraded links.

I think Cusco is 514.6 lb/in but cost $280

 

I installed my Gendron 1.25" Hollow, 0.25" ID swaybar with bearing mounts this past weekend. Here are some photos for those asking...

 

The winter rebuild continues. Ordered the Gendron Hollow Front Bar Section and while on the phone Bill helped talk me into the his new Adjustable Rear Sway w/ball bearing mounts too. Wrong thread but the Ohlins are off to Performance shock too for secret sauce valving.

 

Sounds like you are rounding up some great parts! I also got in on the first 5 deal on the RSB. Good luck on the custom valving on your Ohlins!

Nice Dave! After I get my shock bill back I'm going to order the rear bar and new front bar from him. My shock bill could be $1000 or it could be $2500 and I have to have the money in hand when he sends me the bill. So I'm not spending any money until I get a exact $$$ number on my shock bill.


Dave are you going to run full soft on the new bar?

 

The parts are stacking up. K&N FIPK should be here this week too. I don't think I am going to have a lot of testing before Dixie. I think I can hit 2 events plus the EVO challenge. I might actually go down to the Dixie site and run in February to try to get the bars dialed in.
