Whiteline adjustable rear sway bars

::NEW NEW PRICE OF $145 shipped in US.::

Hi all, sorry this is my first post, but I have goodies!

I bought a bunch of parts at wholesale for a number of cars my friends and I are working on and I needed to order some extras to meet the minimum order requirements.

That being said, I have TWO brand new Whiteline (Australian made) silver powder coated 20mm adjustable rear sway bars for sale. These retail for $170, but I will let them go for $160 flat shipped in the US.

I know I'm new on here, but you can check out my eBay feedback, if you care. My username on there is mettlemtrsprts.

You can also email me at ion_four@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

C'mon guys...these bars are 2mm larger than the H&R and are 3-position adjustable, not just two. I can email pics, if you'd like.

Ah, I thought the H&R was 18, but you're correct it is 19mm...also looking at the Alta site they have a 19mm and a 22mm, and both of these, as well as the H&R only have two adjustment settings, whereas the Whiteline has three.

According to Whiteline, each adjustment is equivalent to a bar diameter change of ~2mm, so depending on how far out the holes are on the arms, the Whiteline could span the range of both all of these...18-20-22mm equivalent.

MSRP on the H&R is $199 and the Alta is $169, so considering I'm selling these for less than either of them and it has more adjustability, I think the pricing is more than fair.

I took a pic of both bars and will have it up tonight. No time last night and I'm at work, now.

Cheers!

OK, here are a couple pics. Since everyone here is a cheap-skate I've decided to go with a new price of $160, shipped in the US. Considering shipping could be up to $30 and beyond, this seems pretty fair to me.

Actually, shipping would only be $8-12 with UPS ground.

Thanks for your shipping estimate, but I just mailed a sway bar with a couple other bushings, and it was $29.xx to Lansing, MI from Portland, OR.

Also, looking on worldone, I see their advertised price is $169 for the Alta bar. The total with shipping is $174. Mine would be $160.

I'm going to assume you're trying to help, but I don't think your information is accurate.

So, the bottom line is NEW 20mm 3-position adjustable rear sway bars with poly bushings for $160 shipped, ASAP. This is cheaper than worldone advertises the alta bars, is a thicker/more-adjustable bar than the H&R and thicker/more adjustable than ONE of the ALTA bars, though smaller, yet more adjustable than the other.

Ya, I am just trying to help.

A month ago, I shipped a Strut bar in an overersized box from Cali to Detroit Michigan for $12. A month before that, I sent a Sway bar from Cali to Oregon for $8. UPS ground is the best.

Inf3rn0, it is possible that my shipping estimate is too high, because I'm only using a bathroom scale to guesstimate.

However, I just don't think your "one can buy such and such cheaper here or there" posts are really helping me sell anything.

------
That being said:

The normal wholesale price on these, IIRC, is $145.xx. I will now offer these at $145 SHIPPED, because they aren't doing me any good.

If no one bites at this by the weekend, I will put them on eBay at a higher price and cross my fingers.

ion_four@yahoo.com, if interested.
