    forgot to ask, if you get a chance, try to match up the front sway bar mounting bracket to your car, I just want to know if it aligns up to your mounting bolts or if you have to enlongate the holes too.....:hmmm:

    My first thought is, Did they open the boxes at customs to inspect them? That might explain the mess.

    Nope, when they do that they stick stickers on them, so you know they were searched. Most stuff is x rayed, so they can see whats in the box, and if it matches the declaration form...

    SO sorry guys. Its been quite a stressful week. Wife is due any day now and the boss calls and says "come see me I want to talk to you about some stuff". :eek: This sway bar never entered my mind until it was too late to call him. I'll give him a call first thing Monday morning.

    I finally opened up my bag of parts for the rear bar to see what was in there. I thought they had included the reinforcement plate that John and I had discussed. When I went through it, it was not included. I sent an email to John asking for it to be included with the new bar, I have not heard anything back from him.

    Finally got a call back from John. The bars are still production. They have already been bent and are now being drilled. They should be shipped later this week or early next week. Next check-in with him is Tuesday.

    nothing here yet. I called John earlier in the week to get an update but he had trouble getting one himself due to the regular staff not being in the office at the time. I'll try to call again tomorrow.
