I take it you're planning to continue making these for the time being? I'm shortly going to put the FS rear bar I have on my car, and I just put Rodney's zero lash links on the front with the standard bar and poly mounts.
Any idea how much you'd expect shipping to the UK to be for a pair of bars? Will be saving my £s I think!
I received your email and I am working on filling your order as quickly as possible.
Also..... I am working on more improvements. Currently I am testing some Rodney Dickman endlinks. If it works out, I will be offering them as standard equipment with my sway bar kits. I will also be looking into retrofit kits for previous customers.
Again.... this is what I am working on, but I don't want anyone getting too excited yet.
I have not figured out the best setup yet for Rodney's endlinks. I ran them on my car for about 1 year with the stiffest sway bars I had. No problem with failures but I was not totaly satisfied with the way my rod end bearings worked with the combination. Rodney's endlinks are fine. As usual he did a really good job with the development of the product. As for combining his product and mine... More work is needed.
I bought R Runners 1st 88 prototype bar set. I have to say the engineering is spot on and the quality is excellent. It's a bolt on affair and installation of the new bars is much easier then getting the old bars out of the car.
I've installed them on my race front end and can't wait to get to the track to try them out again.
Great product Paul.

I just bought an 88 from another forum member to use - primarily - for autocross. It currently has KYB coilovers in the rear but, I am going through the front end with new springs (1.5" lowering), all poly bushings and Koni (red) shocks, ball joints and tie rod ends. The sway bars appear to be stock. If I am going to get only one of your units - first - which would you recommend?
Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting this thing on the track.
I got my bars today, well packed and they look great. Nice Work ! Thnx Rob.
Thank you Rob... I'm glad they made it there safe and sound. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know how you like them and how well it is balanced with the earlier front end and the '88 rear.
Bump for an awsome product. Current pricing for 84-87 front. 84-87 rear and 84-87 rear with 88 cradle? Also, what additional parts and price to use a 84-87 rear bar kit on a 88 cradle upgrade? I ask because the 88 cradle upgrade is a good possiblility in the near future and im trying to decide if i should buy the 84-87 kit now and conver when i get the rear cradle or if i shoulf do the "front bar on the rear" upgrade and wait to buy your bar after the 88 cradle upgrade.
Just recently getting into the Fiero thing, I have an 85 swapping an 88 cradle into it. Are you still here? Do you have any bars to sell any more? looks like really good stuff. I Would maybe be interested in Performance mixed set. Frank
I didn't comb through the 9-pages of post, so apologize if this is a repeat question.
I'm really just looking for basic touring for the 85. If I wanted to keep the front sway bar stock, would just a rear touring bar be a good balance?
These are pretty aggressice bars, not sure that is something you need. The Fiero Store offers a nice rear bar that would be more than enough for what you are trying to accomplish.

The refined rear kits will be able to match up to a stock front bar. There will also be a new kit intended to match to a front Addco bar for those that already have that set up. The key advantage is that each kit will offer adjustability so that it can be tuned to maximize your fore/aft handling balance. Normal bars may improve your handling, but cannot really be tuned. Different engine, spring, shock, wheel, and tire combinations make each car a bit of a science project so the wider adjustability range of the bars can help bring all those components in to balance. I'll start a new post with all the details so you don't need to comb through all these pages. It will focus on questions and feedback I have received of the years to best answer questions.

.... and you may be correct. Typically when I get a request, I ask about car details and driving style/intent. IF my bars are not a good match, I'll provide that feedback. My goal is to help someone get the most out of their car and modifications.
I have been putting time and money into getting ready to provide kits, but it seems that one of the key components is proving difficult to get. Still working on it...

Friends…. I have hit some significant “snags” in my plan. One of the primary companies I used is recently out of business. There are some ideas on how to resolve the issue, but nothing concrete at the moment. I will continue to push forward. It might take more time than hoped.
