Noticed the end of the swaybar, but what makes it a "true torsion" vs any other swaybar?

It's a straight bar with no bends in it. The end pieces are seperate, keyed into place.

So I have been in contact with these guys for the past 2 months, waiting on them to release their Z34 components. Originally, they stated it would be ready in the beginning of April, and as of today, NOTHING! I have emailed and called them repeatedly, and they just give me the typical run around of "oh yeah, its on the production line right now, so next week", and then a few weeks later "we are just waiting for our web guy to update the store, so give it a week". And then now they say "they aren't available"

I've been working in the aftermarket industry for over 10 years dealing with countless companies, and their customer service needs work. I wish I could comment on their parts (especially since they look good), but so far, it seems like a bunch of fluff.

I've dropped off my car for measurements and test fitment over the last month or so. They keep posting huge runs of S13/14 parts which I'm sure isn't helping to push the Z34 to the top of the list, but I understand they need to make money while expanding. I'll be sure to post up parts as they go on the car.

Interesting that they needed your car for test fitments when they say they already have completed components for Chris Forsberg's 370Z since November of 2013. While there might be some unique features for Forsberg's car, it shouldnt be that far off since Formula D's rule book says that suspension arms must retain OEM spec and mounting, but will allow spherical bearings and length adjustment.

From my experience dealing with S13/S14 cars and owners over the years, it doesnt really make sense to supply them with top-notch suspension components mostly because they are cheap, and are completely satisfied with $60 ebay arms. They are not going to make a lot of sales with this community. Compared to the 370Z or G37 community, which typically has more disposable income and would generally appreciate quality components, PLUS is an underdeveloped market for suspension components.

I have not been testing the front components, there are other parts in the works that I have lent my car to help with since they are down the street. I also work with a lot of S13/S14 guys, from the likes of Infiniti caliper swap crowds to $5k Weds wheels buyers and LSX builds, there's definitely a vast array of these guys that would pay the money for something worth it. Either way I will be happy waiting longer for a product that is rechecked and ready versus something rushed to the market that needs improvement.

I completely agree that customer service could use some help, these guys typically deal business to business and are not the friendliest when it comes to chit-chat.

Saw this posted up on Voodoo 13's facebook today.

#370z spindle after the first operation! #voodoo13 #madeinUSA #nissan #drift #cfr


This one was back in April that I missed thought it was cool so I thought I would add it to this.

The inside of #voodoo13 #cfr angle kit on @chrisforsberg64's #370z here at our Home Base! Can anyone guess the amount of angle? #madeinUSA #nissan #FormulaD #milspec
phunk, DR_ and VRSean like this.
