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!
