Default Major swaybar deal...

I've been keeping my mouth shut, hoping that my order would go through...

I ordered a 19mm Neuspeed swaybar from carparts.com in late October. It just got here today, updated braces and all. The best part...

I got it for around $166 shipped. I found an internet coupon that basically paid the shipping. The bar lists for around $165 on carparts.com. Neuspeed.com has the bar listed for $289.

The price went up but somehow carparts.com hasn't caught up with the new pricing.

I'm not affiliated with carparts.com, just a happy customer, despite the delays which were probably due to the support bracket redesign.

Neuspeed sells it at the highest as to not hurt the other vendors.

Default No person in their right mind would pay $289 for that bar.

I got mine from carparts too.....$137 shipped with a coupon. I had to wait almost 2 months though which was pretty irritating.

btw, you should be able to get the bar for under $200 through any of the tuners who advertise around here.

I hate carparts.com. They have good prices, but CS sucks and shipping takes months.

Default Funny thing is, my bar was drop shipped from Neuspeed directly

Carparts must aggregate the orders. It did take awhile, but I'll wait for more than $100. I'm sure most of the delay was waiting for Neuspeed to release the bars after the redesign.

Fortunately, I didn't get a chance to find out how bad their customer service is. I did, however, get a phone solicitation from J.C. Whitney...bastards.
