I'm very keen. But I wonder whether the strut position is the same for my engine bay as my car has a 4 cylinder engine.

If it can fit, I'm 4th in line.

Possible to show a pic of the bar installed VIP?

Do I hear $260? Each additional post brings the cost up by $10. It is called interest. lol

hey everyone, it's not ready yet, it will hopefully be complete next week. as for the instalation goes, it doesn;t require anything except cussting a little piece of the rubber that gores around the top of the firewall that covers the brake and ecu and stuff it's a 3 mintue job other than that there is no reloacting the throttle sensor or anything like that and that's why it's taking so long because i have to bypass that, i'm just not a fan of moving factory designed parts around. it will be installed just like the rear one to the strut towers just like the rear one but in the front. i will post pictures once it's done and i'm ready to accept payments.

I'm still interested, but would like to see a pic and a price.
I'm a little concerned about cutting the rubber bit...

The bar is not complete yet, that's why I haven't posted pictures yet or price. I have to find out my final cost before pricing them. As for the rubber piece, its the one that is on top of the secondary fire wall and it can be cut with a knife, it has to be cut in order for the bar to clear the hood, cutting the rubber creates no problems ir issues you can even completly poip it out and you won't have any problems it is just there to hide the edge of the aluminum that's all, no function or anything.

Okay, thanks for the quick reply. I am not interested in rushing you, just didn't want to be shoved off the list if you got a lot of potential orders.

I'm actually glad you left this message, my blackberry took a crap so i had to change it out for another one and i lost some of my numbers because they didn't transfer over. text me with your number i do need another test fit but it won't be for about another week or so, i had to modify it a little more.

The bar is ready and will be available for purchase next week and i will post some picture up. Just a note, there is no drilling involved at all only minor reloacting that will take about 2 minutes ans a number 10 wrench. other than that it is way different that the bars that are in the market and the adjustability adds to the it as well. instalation time is about 15 minutes and much easier than the rear one. so if you think the rear one was easy to install this you can probably do with your eyes closed. and that is my goals, product being user friendly.
i will start taking orders on tuesday once the pictures are up.

U should be MBworld Exclusive Member

Just in time. I will have my Front Strut, Front&Rear H&R Sway Bars installed that will also compliment my Rear Strut bar.

I'm wondering what it will feel like in corners and how fast can I push it around corners. My heart is beating.

you need to relocate couple items but there's no cutting and anyone can do it, which is the great thing......it look's great...can't wait to get a benz one day so i can get some products like this on...

ash aka Dr. auto as i call him have been doing some side projects on my ride and his as well...the guy has some crazy talent but his ride's going to look sick when it's done and i'll post up some pics of my project when were done soon
