it's basically a necessary evil to ensure that you get all the parts the first try. : that was my first reaction after the foul language subsided. A real punch in the nuts after the first stage went so smooth. Came out really nice. They should have better pics on their site and I really don't understand why they put the bolts through the outer ends and tighten them up for shipping. Just put them in a baggie rather than make me wrench off extra bolts for the fun of it. We cut the tubes (1 1/2 in front and 2" in back) and rewelded them, but I only had enough time to get the crossmember and front two tubes on. I still need to get the back two on.
I talked to Dallas about the bolts thing a while back.. the reason they don't put the bolts in a bag and mail it with them is because 90% of the time, they won't get there. UPS is very hard on boxes that have small parts rattling around inside, so Dallas and I agreed that it would be better to spend an extra 5 minutes removing all the bolts before install than for them not to get there and Dallas spend another $10 in parts and postage sending something that didn't get there.
good thinking on cutting the bars. the 4th and 5th gens WERE bout 2" longer, as I was there when they were prototyping the stage 2 on both cars... If I rememebr correctly, the numbers were 25, 27, 29, and 31" on various ones.
Be sure to send them an email and let them know what happened, but what you did is about the best way to fix the problem.
: My initial review is favorable but I can't really lean into it too hard as I have a broken sway bar mount that is preventing me from getting crazy.
