Ron
I am on the list of original adopters.

What will the final cost be with shipping and how do we make the payment?

I assume this will be a direct replacement bolt on, correct?

Will there be a need to get a realignment after the install?

The price on the RT bar will be $199 delivered. Payment can be made by Paypal or by mail. If you would like to be invoiced by email for payment with Paypal I just need the email address attached to your Paypal account.

If you would like to be on the waiting list please email me at [email protected] You should be able to click on this hyperlink and just drop me a note saying you want to be added to the RT Sway Bar notification list. Those on the waiting list will be notified first. Bars will be shipped on a first paid, first shipped basis.

We are VERY close!

This sway bar is a direct bolt up replacement for the stock bar.

Heavens NO! You do not need to do any alignment or other adjustments with this install. The sway bar has absolutely no affect on your suspension until lean angle is introduced.

When you lean, the bar gets mean, when you're straight ahead, it goes to bed. (made that up myself.... No, no, please, hold the fanfare!)

If you have set your front shock springs to a high, stiff setting to control lean angle, you may want to experiment by setting them back down a notch or 2. Be sure to check your shock spring setting to assure that both shock springs are set the same. Let your shocks take care of the bumps and your sway bar take care of the turns.

Increasing or decreasing your shock spring setting beyond what is required to maintain original body height can create an alignment issue giving you unwanted tire wear unless you have your Spyder re-aligned for the new body/suspension position.

Ron, do you have the install directions finalized? Is there anyway you could post or email them so I could check to see if it's something I could tackle on my own?

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: A preview of the instructions would be VERY useful! :thumbup:

I do have instructions for the install of the RS bar. The install of the RT bar are identical except for the anomalies of removing the Frunk (which is not necessary).

Frunk removal is easier on the RS (so what isn't?) but still not bad. Frunk removal takes a bit of time but makes the sway bar install much easier. Some remove the Frunk, some don't.

RT Swaybar Installs

Here's the step by step approach I use in changing out the RT swaybar....


Updated 12/18: This post removed as the revised procedure is fully reflected in BajaRon's Swaybar Install Instructions.

 

[Bob Denman]

Thanks for these instructions! :thumbup:

 

[cjackg]

I forgot to mention that anyone that shows up at my house near Chattanooga on an RT with a new Swaybar in one hand and a fifth of my favorite beverage in the other will get a free Installation ! nojoke :roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

Last minute questions!

I already asked to be invoiced but have a couple of questions. :yes:

I remember some talk of adjustability on the new bar. Did I imagine that or are there multiple ways to install it to affect stiffness? Also what color did you decide on, the suspense is killing me? :banghead:

It took Ron all of about 12 minutes to send me an invoice after I asked for it. Mine is paid for, can't wait!
