Probably will buy the sway bar for my 2014 RS based on all the positive comments made here. But before I do, I would like to know if this item ever goes on sale? Also, for those that have them and are thinking about selling or trading your Spyder, have you considered selling the sway bar separately? My guess is the sway bar would be worth more if sold separately then what would be gained at sale or trade in time.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

thumbs up
I just put one on my 2016 RTS. I have never seen a sale but I think the installation cost varies. I got mine installed at Spyder Fest by SpyderPops . Well worth it

I thought that at the low prices he's asking, the Baja-Ron Bars are on sale ALL the time, and for the improvement they bring at such a reasonable price vs the effort or cost required to change one out before sale/trading, most people just sell them on with their old Spyders & buy a new one to fit on the new Spyder - that way they only need to do or pay for the ONE remove & refit job! :thumbup:
How much did they charge you? I am wondering if the $300 estimate from my local shop is reasonable.

$300.00 for an install is crazy. It will take a mechanic probably 30 minutes to replace it. Taking your time, it would take you an hour or two to replace it.
Yes that is a tad steep.. Would not take a dealer more than an Hr. They have the tools, and technicians to get it done in hr.
300 / hr is acceptable for a great lawyer but a mechanic ......:yikes:
Just put one on this weekend. Biggest / easiest way is to get the front end to ground clearance greater than the length of the Swaybar. Once we did that the bar all but fell out on its own....LOL

Ron doesn’t have sale pricing, Jim. He sets his pricing at the lowest he possibly can for Spyderlovers all year round. The stabiliser bar is a bargain at many times its price for what it gives you. I spent over $2k on Wilbers shocks, and they didn’t improve surefootedness any more than Ron’s stabiliser bar did.:thumbup: Mind you, the Wilber rear shock did reduce bottoming out which Ron’s bar did not

If you are saying $300 for material and installation that is a very good price!!!

He's talking install only. The most I've been told a customer was quoted for the install (Only) was $800.00. Or simply said another way. 'We don't want to do it'.
Most dealerships will charge 1 hr - 1.5 hr shop labor rate. If they know what they are doing they probably make a killing at this rate. If they don't, they probably break even.
Usually, if the charge is more than this it's because they plan to remove the front trunk. A waste of time and your money. But I've been told the shop manual says to remove the front trunk for this install. I've never verified this. But it would certainly add quite a bit of time to the process.

This is timely. I am getting a Baja Ron's ASB installed on ours in a couple of weeks. At first the service department said "I think it's 4 hours labor because you have to take the front end off, but my Spyder tech is not here today so he would know for sure"....I immediately sicked Adam, the dealership parts guy who ordered it on service. They will be charging me one hour labor (I think that's around $85). As many have said, this is so simple to install. If I had a lift I would do it myself.
Really looking forward to the difference as most everyone has said it makes a dramatic difference in more flat handling. I have always installed thicker ASB's, usually with adjustable end-links, on all my cars (and even my truck!), and have always believed they are such a great bang for the buck.
