Can you explain the benefit of this bar over say your standard Weltmeister bar? I only ask, becuase my car came with one not installed...and not sure if its any good.

Thanks

Both bars are adjustable. The GPRbar is much liter than the Welmeister bar is. the quality of componants on the GPRBar are much better than the Weltmeister bar also. IMHO!

Got my bar on Monday. It's really nice. I installed it today. I only had 2 problems. I needed to chase the threads in the in the nuts on the plate inside the wheel wells and I must have started my tap crooked cause I broke the tap off (all right I was careless and going too fast). It took about 2 hours to get it out and then another 45 minutes to find a replacement tap. Also there are some metal shims that are included in the kit but there is no mention of them in the instructions. They go on the bar ends to take up space so the arms fit tight.

Took it for a test drive. It's nice and quiet compared to the old Weltmeister.

Got mine last night.

It is a really nicely made unit, can't wait to install it.

Thanks for the great deal on these.

What about markers on the arms so you know exactly where to set it on each side?
It seems the only bar to have those is the SmartRacing bar ...

This is very helpful if you are in a time-crunch, like on the track or AX during run-sessions.
Makes it super easy to set the bar equal side to side.

I got mine the other night, and it is a thing of beauty.

I remember back when you introduced these, and Andy brought up the same point. I am thinking that we could have a batch of stickers printed up that would make for easy indexing. Just a clear sticker with black or red hash-marks every 1/4 inch. Start from 0 in the center of the groove and count outward in both directions. This would allow the sticker to be used on both sides and make it easy to index the drop-link. My crude illustration is below.

I might be up for a set of those stickers. I have the same bar too but unfortunately have not installed it. My winter project is to pull the tank and clean up in there and do the front bar at the same time along with the rest of the suspension (bushings, Koni shocks and new springs)

Looking into it. I have a cheapie label maker too, and it won't produce anything that I would want to put on my car. I am trying to work with a couple of printer vendors who can surely produce this, but might also be able to solve our VIN sticker issue. If anything comes of it, I will make a grand announcement.

Couple-o-suggestions ...


- Space the numbers out more. The bolt itself is already wider than one of your sections.

- Start with 0 in the middle and go up each way. 5 should be enough.


Like so:

  5   |   4   |   3   |   2   |   1   |   0   |   1   |   2   |   3   |   4   |   5

Yep, and easier to read. I just wanted to see if it would work. I will make a second attempt. When my bar arrives, I will see what fits and do another picture.
