Thanks for the consideration Ed. And did you get yours on?

I'll be taking more pictures here in a few weeks, or possibly a short video, when I install the new production BW22 bar on my own car. I do apologize that the install pictures were not the best, but you guys are smart, I knew you'd figure it out!

Just got it installed, took a short ride, and could instantly notice a difference.

Well I'm glad that so far so good.

I have a feeling that the harder you push it the more you'll like it.













that's been the case so far anyway...

Just figured I'd post a snapshot of the old versus new.

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

Nevin, have you thought about setting up a website to help you sell your product? Unfortunatly, not everyone who owns an svx is a member of the network so they might not know your product exists. Why not take it to the next level?

Honestly, I really don't have the interest in selling a huge volume yet. And really, I don't think the numbers that I would pick up would be that huge anyway. Having an SVX-specific site would have very little traffic and even less online purchases I would think. Espescially since this is currently the only prodct I offer, and availability is directly effected by having the $$ from the initial payment of a bulk buy.

If you saw a random guy with a website selling a part that you didn't think even existed, would you even think it was legit?

Also, I'd rather do a small thing really well than do something larger not so well, and with a website, I think it's a bit over my head. The only other things I've considered are selling them on ebay, and selling them through Turn In Concepts.

I'm honestly happy as a clam right now selling them just like this.

And like I've said before. The profit is nice, but the only reason I made one in the first place was because I wanted one and I figured that others did too!

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

I got mine today. It's a beauty. Eh?
Nice packing job and an ultra nice product.
You would do very well selling these on Ebay. You could post a link to this thread with all the wonderful comments about your product.

Thanks a million Nevin

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

I just wanna thank Nevin for quickly resolving the issue with UPS. Somewhere along the line they attempted to deliver to the wrong address (and wouldn't let me pick it up at the store). All is well and hopefully tomorrow I will be posting that I received it and how joyous it is to have on the car.

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

I just wanted to thank you again Nevin for a really great product. I had mine installed over the weekend and I'm really enjoying the difference. My car is a lot more fun to drive. I would recomend this upgrade to all SVX owners. WOW!!

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

All I can say is wow.

I took the normal onramp that I usually take at about 30-40 where the car starts to approach to its limits. Last night I was hitting 40 and felt like I was barely pushing it. I haven't driven either car much this week but the more I drive the SVX now the more I'm enjoying it.

I feel like I'm driving around in a 3500lb go-kart. Fun factor and driving experience has increased significantly. Bump for an awesome product.

Re: Bontrager Works 22mm rear sway bar kit

You are all too kind. Thank you for your good reviews!

Just so you all know, I have 3 blue ones left, one black one, and one blemished blue one that I'm selling at a discounted rate ($245)

So, I have a total of 5 left, but one is slightly blemished in the powdercoating.

Also, this format worked really well for the sale this time around. I think I would do this again this way, but probably only 10 at a time again instead of 15. Less bars is less hassle, plus less overhead.

Thank you all again, this has gone very smoothly!!
