Sway bar Question

Nope. Sorry. If I made hundreds of dollars on them, you'd see sales on them because I'd have a lot of profit margin left. But I don't make tons on bars, hence the price remains stable but also reasonable.

Just too bad there isnt a sale, but I respect that.... "Sam The Man" has gotta make some money somehow!!!!

It's a darker gray, not really pale, closer to black than toward white.

Okay I went ahead and took some pictures to make this much simpler for everyone. I'm not sure what the big deal is trying to figure out what shade of gray a sway bar is; it's going under the car. 
I even snapped a photo of them on top of a single white piece of paper because the carpet is not white.
In case anyone wanted to imagine what size the components are I've gone ahead and given two visual aids. You get one Dunlop tennis ball and one US quarter from 1994!
Let's begin shall we and take a peek at what I've gotten from Strano...
A pair of Koni SA 4th gen. front and 3rd gen. rear shocks.
Label check.
Dun dun dun ... sway bar time!
22mm rear.
35mm front.
UMI D.A. PHB (Note: It's black)
Now here is the sway bar pair again facing off against the PHB over white printer paper. As said, they are dark gray.
I'd take some pictures of the springs since I ordered a plethora of items but they've yet to arrive due to some FedEx complications. I'm told they're white though.
Mmkay.

And yes, the bars go under the car but if you've noticed from the rear- you can see them sometime and some people (ie. ME) are perfectionists and like to see everything and are just curious what color they are and if they will stick out like a sore thumb! Anyways, thanks for the pics- I know you cleared it up for me atleast!
Oh and thats a nice shiny quarter and clean tennis ball!

Well actually the only suspension piece I've seen stick out are boxed SFCs so actually no, I've never noticed on my own car. The quarter is mine, yes allll mine!!!, and the ball was on loan from my dog.

Thanks for the pics SmokeySS. That took some time and I appreciate the effort!!!! As you can see when you compare the black UMI PHB to my bars, the bars aren't exactly light colored.

Got me sold, I'll be ordering a set from Sam here in the next month or so. Not just on this forum, but in general, I've heard only good things about him when it comes to suspension.

Good word of mouth is the best advertising, and we try very hard to do the right thing.... I appreciate the nice words, both business wise and personally.
