Status of Pedders Sway Bars

[Info@PeddersUSA.com]

One of the reasons we include adjustable end links for all of our bars is the changes that occur when you drop your vehicle. A front sway bar is most influenced, The rear one is not influenced much at all due to the mpounting location,

Ideally, you want the blade or arm of the sway bar to be paralllel to the subframe assembly when you are at static height, What influences this greatly are the drop you do, plus the position of the end link to the adjustable holes, . With our 4 position mounting on the front sway bar, you have maybe another potentional inch to a inch and a half.

So after you have your ride height where you want it, and you know where you want to install the end link for the adjuster holes, you should then drive it up on a 4 post lift or ramps so all 4 tires on are the ground. adjust the sway bar so the arm or blade is parallel to the subframe, then adjust the endlink to match your hole. Having the blade paralle gives you the best angle between the say bar and the endl link, thus making the sway bar more effective

Hope this helps

How are these people getting their sway bars? I ordered mine direct from Pedders months ago and keep being told they are not available yet? This is going on forever. It is becoming impossible to keep being told a couple of more weeks for over 2 months now. It has taken 6 months for me to piece the kit together with product availability. Great products, but horrible availability.

[thekid96]

My point exactly. The only reason I ordered the Pedders kit was because:
1- Everything was available in a kit that fit my needs
2- I was told everything would be delivered within two weeks of my order
That was almost two months ago and the latest answer is maybe another month or two.

I actually ordered in October and have been waiting but my car has been in the garage this winter anyways, so it was no hurry for me. My car is going back to LPE for a few more upgrades in a couple weeks and the bars showed up just in time. I am in sales and I know that sometimes when you have to wait for products, it means that they are popular and a very good product. I'm sure they will be caught up soon.

Working in sales you then know that you could have the greatest product in the world, but if you can't get it to the consumer in a timely manner you can really hurt your market share, lose confidence with your consumers and allow your competitors to takeover that market share.

It all depends on the competitors products as well. Our more high dollar strength products have a 12 week lead time while other companies are about a 4 week lead time. I can gaurantee that one product is better than the other. It is a new car and I understand that companies are trying to get things right and may have some trouble getting parts out in a timely manner because of everyone wanting them. I have had the coilovers on since last August and there weren't even any other coilovers out at that time. Sorry for your wait - as I am still waiting on some other stuff as well.

Working in engineering you then know that you could have the greatest product in the world, but if you can't get it to the consumer as a quality product you can really hurt your market share, lose confidence with your consumers and allow your competitors to takeover that market share.

I too have been waiting for over two months I don't mind the wait as much as being told two weeks then two weeks then two weeks and again two weeks. If it will be longer just say that from the beginning how long it will be. If you don't know say that too. Is it that I'm just one customer and not a big company? I don't know. I drive my car almost daily and have been to the drags a couple times and autocrossed it several times. Every time I go to one of these places I have many people ask me about the car and the mods. I'd love to be able to be able to tell them about my suspension mods but I don't have clue when that will be. I knew right away how much I had to pay for my order though.

As I mentioned, we have 20 kits coming in on March 10th from the new processes. Pete will do an install to double check fitment. If they are a go, the 19 of them will go out, then by the end of the month, we should have no issues any more with sway bars
