Vitor Rear Sway Mount ***Updated***

sooo, for those of you who have never heard of it/them...

www.neongoodies.com

I was wondering, do I need to order the bracket and the dogbone if I have the endlinks and bar already, or just the bracket?

I currently do not have a rear sway, so I was thinking of grabbing these to make it quick and painless...

Any help is appreciated. btw, the airdams on that site rock....

Here is my concern. On your swaybar is the hole for it going verticle or horizonal? With that setup the hole must be going horizonal but on an OEM bar and most non-adjustable bars the hole is verticle.

Image

See what I'm saying? The top bar (stock 19MM R/T bar) the hole is going verticle (up and down)... with the Progress bar it's going horizonal (side to side)

With his setup...

Image

The bolt passes though the swaybar horizionally which isn't the case on the OEM bar.

For the brakets... same problem, it's passing though horizinally where on OEM it's vertically so your current stock style endlinks wouldn't bolt up.

Image

If you don't have a swaybar which you probably don't for your year you'll need the bracket but the question of if it will work... at this point I'd say no unless I'm not seeing something. If you bought the progress, Hotchkins, or Suspension Techniques bars... you'll be fine from the looks of it since those are adjustable and the holes in the bar is horizonal.

Did that make any sense?

Perfect sense Jason, considering its 2am here! So Why would he state that the sway bar (stock) will "mount up just like normal"?? I looked at my stock bar that I aquired (Thanks Grambo!) and your right, it is vertical, hmm, maybe an e-mail is in order.....

Yeah... I dunno... I dunno how 1GNs are... last I saw he only had a 1GN so maybe he thinks 2GNs are the same. I can't say for sure but I'd ask before you buy.

My neighbour is a machinist so I could probably show him the pics and he could whip something that would work, I am gonna e-mail Vitor myself and see what he says...

Be wary, I ordered the kit from him and got just the brackets, and the purplish dogbones, that do not work with stock bars. Maybe those longer ones will.

The setup I got was the one on the right in the 1st pic.

Those look much better! The shorter ones look to be for a lowered car with an adjustable swaybar.

haha, after reading jason's explanation 3 times... i finally made sense.

so whats the price on these? anybody got a linky?

and just to make sure i got it right. on my 05, i would need the brackets on the left if i went with the a stock sway bar (r/t or srt), and i would need the ones on the right if i went with an after market swaybar.

Sorta... you'd need the ones on the left if you went with anything OEM or anything from aftermarket thats non-adjustable. If you're going with a bar thats adjustable you'll need the ones on the right.

Hey Eclectic, didn't I give you some Energy Suspension end links and stuff? It didn't get lost in transit or some BS did it?
Or are you just lookin' at all those powder-coated/anodized goodies for fun? haha

Nope Grambo, I got your stuff dude!! 8) But I was looking at a temporary solution for a rear sway before I can find a cheap strut to replace the one I couldn't get from you :D

I wonder if he would do a group buy on like 5 sets? Would anyone be interested in something like that? I mean REALLY interested not, "If the price was right." type of thing. Like "I will commit to $90 or under." type thing.
