Strut bars!

Hi all. I've been kinda awol for a bit, battling job/health/blah...blah issues . But I'm back in the game, and I have some help now on the manufacturing front (so it's no longer a one-man show...so my delivery times may improve, haha, sorry for all those still waiting for stuff). I'm trying to catch back up to speed and am finally squeezing out some of the ideas I've had marinating in the back of my head. Here's the first brain child out of the cage....

I'm open to ideas for other products. So you guys can direct my thoughts. Is the camber/castor issue still burning? Need strut caps? What about rear uniball kits?

Cheers,
Lanner

That is a nice looking bar. I might have to swap mine out for one of those.

Camber plates aren't a problem. One of the reasons I've been back-burnering (is that a word?) the development is I'm concerned with the NVH issue (as someone else pointed out - effvee?). I'm seeing if I can incorporate the adjustment while having some sort of upper mount damping (aka rubber mounted like stock?). I'm not too keen on just having a solid mounted bearing up top, but on the other hand if suspension 'slop' is introduced via the damping than it's a wasted effort...?

I've mounted my spherical bearing top mounts using a 3mm rubber 'gasket' between it and the body using nylok nuts. I'm hoping that should go some way to solving any potential NVH issues...
