Next time please ask me first.

Projects go stagnant all the time. After 3 months of inactivity it wasn't sure if it was still being discussed. As a retailer I'm always working with manufacturers for new products and ideas and this was something I was very interested in so I decided to follow up. No harm done except maybe notifying him of the continued interest.

It's last update from Mike.
Hi Guys, we haven't forgotten about the SHO.
I had the pleasure of meeting Joshua Alexander as he just happen to be in the area for his vacation to let us test fit our rear bar. It didn't go as planned.
For some reason whether it was my fault or the local ford dealers fault but we ended up getting the wrong part number as the bar on Joshuas SHO was a solid bar 22.5mm. Our prototype bar being a 20mm.. Obviously not an upgrade. Looks cool though!
What helped out today was being able to see the bar installed, check fitments, bushings, etc then make a plan for the new bar. I am really hoping we can fit in a 26mm 2 point adjustable bar if the size permits. If not, we will do a 24mm 2 point adjustable so that will still be stiffer than factory. But 26mm is the ideal size we want here.
So we are back to the drawing board for now, but at least we were able to get a car in, test fit and move forward.
The install if you guys are wondering is painless. Even with stock exhaust its not bad at all. Just slide off the 4 back hangers, and the bar comes right out. Took I think about 12 minutes? We were chit chatting as well so could of been even quicker than that.
I know this is a bummer as I am pretty bummed too but this is why we test fit before releasing.
One quick question, are you guys digging the red bar? Or would you like to see our other color which is silver metallic?
Thank you for your time!

Hello guys. Last update from Mitchel

Hey Guys,
After we have decided to do a 24mm solid steel bar with 2 points of adjust ability. With the hole closer to the D bushing would be equivalent to a 25mm and the hole furthest away from the D bushing would be 23.5mm. So there will be some adjust-ability based on other modifications to the car.
Im hoping to get a test bar here in the next week to test fit, road test, photos/video then I will report findings to the community.

Ok guys. New sway bar ready for tests.

Mitchel Yardley needs test SHO to check our 24 mm 2 point sway bar fitment. Located in SoCal. Ontario.
when Mitchell gets his test vehicle in he will make measurements and then Whiteline should be able to offer set of universal adjustable links. So we need test SHO asap

Damn. Hopefully a test fitter pops in and volunteers their ride for fitment.

Not only am I no where near you guys, but my whip is still not running/driveable etc.

Good luck!

From Mitchell: (the guy from Whiteline who make this parts)
Hi guys. I just finished install of our @whiteline prototype rear sway bar. What you are seeing is a 24mm solid spring steel bar with 2 points of adjustment, whiteline adjustable endlinks, and lateral locks. Upon installation with stock links we were hitting the bottom control arm on big dips and driveway inclines. So I put together a tad bit longer end link than OEM and now we have plenty of clearance. Check out the before and after of the clearance. Yes there is still ground clearance for normal driving.

That being said we will most likely have to sell these bars with our endlinks or we might have an option for customers who want to use something else. But a longer link will be needed!

I should have pricing hopefully in the next couple of days. These bars should be ready within 1-2 months.

I know some people don’t like the red bars so we might be able to do our signature Whiteline silver.

To the people asking about if the car got lowered. The links just need to be adjusted longer to accommodate a lowered car, that`s it
