Fraz I am already compiling a list of stuff to order through you :P
As soon as I have my FTO sorted, and get a clearance from the Mrs, I'll be splashing some money on the Challenger :)

Speaking of which...I need to find a group buy deal for some Lightforce Striker 170 35W Hid and TJM underbody plates.

TJM plates are good, but I personally prefer the ARB cause they protect a little more. Lightforce are overpriced, go the Narva 225's in standard. You'll pay the same as the lightforce's but get a much better light. ;)
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:

Nothing like the necro of a 7 year old thread.
Does anyone know anyone who went for signature Sway bars?

Feedback issues etc?

Yeah I did. Good bit of kit. Recommend upgrading to the later model car mounting brackets with the double welded top on them. Otherwise you have to drill the lower hole on the early versions (which aren't as strong).

Are you referring to the FTO brackets for a facelift or pre facelift or are these different types of Shelby brackets that come with the bar?

I've literally just bought a brand new set so I assume they will come with new brackets but I'll ask to be sure.

Ohh lord I hope so. The RPW site actually says 26 front and 22 rear but it doesn't make sense.

Also the pic shows the rear one looking thicker than the front.

I've literally just bought a brand new set so I assume they will come with new brackets but I'll ask to be sure.
They come with bushes & a mount bracket, but the bracket that it mounts to on the car needs modifying. If it's an early model, you'll need to drill a hole in it, as their bush mounts are dual hole, not hole & slot like the FTO.

I then found the bracket on the car to be cracked, so after all that effort, I just ordered some late model CH lancer brackets from Amayama. Came with 2 holes & a reinforcing plate welded to the top.

Not sure why you're looking at RPW when you can order direct and choose the diameter?

But RPW declare the parts at $200 and repackage the bars in one box to reduce shipping

If only I had a time machine :lol: or is this more an anti RPW thing I should be aware of.

Hey Bennoz, is a CH lancer an Evo 2/3?
Been trying to track down these brackets and can't seem to find them anywhere

We aren't fond of RPW around her due to their dodgy tactics and less than adequate dealings throughout the years.

That and the fact you'd get a cheaper price going directly to the source rather than a reseller.

That's unfortunate I really don't know anywhere that does as much aftermarket stuff for the FTO.
