Hi Folks,
Do'nt flame me if this infio is already well known......but spent a looong time on the phone YESTERDAY from Brisbane to Sydney, trying to get my hands on a replacement Rear Swaybar for my TL AWD.
First call was to K-MAC.....Yes the guy says,....we can make you a bar...20mm fixed or 20mm 3 point adjustable......was not the easiest of people to deal with and when i said lets place an order he says i'll call u back....anyway, closing time and still no call..........SO...
Next.......i rang.......Whiteline......they do NOT make one for the AWD any longer....if they ever did.......so i kinda put the guy in the picture as to what i wanted, and he suggested i give these guys a call....
SIGNATURE SWAYBARS......Sydney....02 9453 9199.....Tony Gentilcore....
...so i did just that, after looking at their website ....www.mako.com.au .....they MAKE the bars for just about everything, including the AWD......they are FIXED...but go up from 18,20,22,24,..27!!.....and do the Front also,
....anyway, back to the story, i spoke to Tony and asked him where exactly, and who is making these bars as i thought they may be from O-seas or even K-mac....he tells me that the ORIGINAL owner of Selbys and his Son, who sold the original business over 10 years ago is the brains behind Signature Swaybars, and they do it all themselves.......this was close to closing time, but i've just banged in an order for a Fixed 20mm. you can have a choice of colours, come ready to bolt up with D Bushes in Poly etc. Freighted to Brisbane in around 5 days .....$233.88 Inclusive...($75 CHEAPER than K-mac!!)..(Freight was 25.88...bar only $208).....very good customer service, and should be one very happy customer in me. He said they do'nt prefer to deal with the big suspension companies as they like talking with the enthusiasts like us.....so i said i'd drop his info on here for anyone to use at their will.
SORRY for the epic story...
P.S.....Forgot to mention for anyone who does'nt already know.......Selby's as we know it and their most RECENT owners went BUST about a couple of months ago
Cheers,
Wayne.
