Default Strano Performance Hollow Front swaybar update

2/25/09

Just wanted to update you all officially.

I just fit the newest test bar to my car, and it fit like a glove. Waiting on costs and once I get those I'll begin to take orders. Should be approximately 3 weeks for production of the bars to start once I get pricing.

Rear hollow bars in 22mm are still available from my previous supplier, so when we start filling orders the bars will have very slight differences front to rear. Both will be black powdercoat, but the hardware and the very ends of the bars will be different in the look, but not the function.

Eventually I will have both bars made by the same company (still everything to my spec), but as of now it is more important to me, and I'm sure to those of you waiting to get a functional set of hollow bars back out there with the front to rear balance we want.

Thanks for your patience, I know it's been a while... but sometimes these things take time.

No official list.... Too hard to keep tabs on what's up.
But I get your meaning!

When I'm ready to accept orders I'll have them back on the website for purchase.

Pricing is TBD.... I'll let you know when I know! But I'm going to try to keep the pricing as much in line as before as possible.

Not ready quite yet to take orders because I need a more solid ETA on production before I feel ok with doing so...

But, I got the pricing on the new version of the Hollow front bar. $239.00

Rear bars are still $209. And I intened to sell sets of bars for a slight discount @ $439/set.

How about a group buy. If you get 20 sets sold, how about free shipping?

No.

I don't do GP's. They are a nightmare and huge hassle. I also have no reason to do it because I have a product that speaks for itself, and already sells for a price that is more than reasonable (read less expensive) when compared to the only other set of hollow bars that exist, and uses too big a rear bar IMO.

Not to be a pain but much like car companies that can sell every car they build, I don't need to offer incentives to move my product.

I just thought that if you sold a bunch at one time you might get a better price and pass it along. Thank for the reply.

I'm already looking at 25 bars at a time for the pricing I'm getting, which is max discount already.

Hey Sam, I had the hollow bars on back order with UMI, Do I have to contact them to tell them that you have them in stock again so they can send you my order?
