Anyone buy a madness motorsports rear sway bar lately?

Watched the how to videos and searched a bit and place order online. Then silence, just a receipt, no return email or tracking #.

Will probably give a day or to more before I call but wanted to see if anyone had recent experiences with the bar or company.

Nevermind Madness never bothered to notify me the bar was not available or back ordered.

I canceled and ordered a Hotchkis 22810r comp bar, it should be here tomorrow

I should have done more research, the you tube video looked great and so did the bar. Less than stellar is an understatement, they offered the hotckis at 100$ more. Even using next day shipping my bill was only 50$ more than the suspect
back ordered" bar.

I now know I should have stuck with Way motor works or ECS, alta etc.

We keep the Hsport Comp bars in stock and could ship one anytime. You lucked out by them not having the other bar in stock as they are heavier, have cheap bushings with them, and we've had them rust.
