    Anyone ever do this? I have a GMPP stb on the front and noticed the other day that is had a nice lump in the middle, I guess one autox event killed it.

    Bought them used and checked for any kind of damage from shipping and there weren't any dents or anything in them.

    not surprising really, just looking at them, they look extremely flimsy under any actual axial loading, especially when served with a side order of bending moment.

    Haha, thanks for clearing that up.

    What about the GMPP trailing arms, sway bars, etc.. compared to the other aftermarket such as BMR and what not?

    they are cheaper and work well for the price, but the BMR and speedbuilt products are all a bunch beefier, but youll pay for them.


    the only place that sells that bar now is ZZP or you may find one on ebay. i got mine from ebay a long time ago when they were still selling them under "otto racing". ZZP basically copied it or is just selling their bars. who knows.
