GB: Roush 21mm rear sway bars

ATTN: Those of you who are concerned about the end links breaking:

Stazi said he would do a GB on his end links. They are $70/set. He needs at least ten buyers to bother with it.

Roush Bar

For reference - Here is a pic of my Roush bar from way back when..

Note: Do not use the large energy suspension bushings and brackets, as they need to be trimmed quite a bit to make them clear the fuel tank (this pic was shot before trying to install). The end links are just something I made up from McMaster Carr and bushings from generic sway bar bushing kit.
 
UPDATE: Guys, I just learned that the bars don't have any hardware with them. Roush ran out of bushings before they ran out of bars. I sincerely apologize. I spoke with BAT, and I can send out BAT polyurethane bushings for $15/set. If anybody knows of a place to get 21mm bushings cheaper, please LMK.
 
hes just a little upset because when he purchased it for a price it was being said it came with everything, but now its just a bar. which is not your fault at all.

its kind of like buying a bike that says it come with everything. then right after you buy it your told its missing wheels.
 
I'm out then. Its only like saving $10 now and to me thats not enough--I'll wait until spring.
No knock against you, please don't take it that way.
I understand its not your fault, but you should see if your source would eat some of the bushing cost. They should definitely do something to help with THEIR mistake.

Sorry but I'm going to have to ask for a refund too, unless you can somehow get bushings included at no extra charge. The package deal was mainly what was so appealing about this offer to me.
 
I'm just curious, but why did the price increase from ReadyParts old pricing? I will not mention the old pricing and cause any trouble in here, but if it's a closeout GB, I would think the price would be much lower.
 
I didn't think that would be the straw that broke the camel's back. I will give anyone and everyone a refund, but here's some perspective:

I am selling the Roush bar for $100. Bushings are $15/set. Complete package is $115. MSRP for the bar is $135, so that's $20 off, not $10 off. That's a 20% savings.

Furthermore, ReadyParts calculated shipping at $40 not $20. The other $20 for shipping comes out of the price for the bar, so the bar is really only $95 + $40 shipping.

Lastly, BAT won't do Group Buys. If you were able to get the bar at dealer cost somehow, it would still be more expensive than this group buy.

In short, this is such a good deal that even tacking on $15 it can't be beat.

If they told you a price/part then later found out they didn't have enough bushings, their bad, not yours.
I got $10 because you mentioned $125 earlier, that is all.
I still think its good of you to put this together, but its still not enough savings to me at this point.

Trouble was that I assumed that I was going to get boxed, sway bars with hardware. Turns out what I got were loose, sway bars without hardware. Since nobody here wants a bar without hardware, I was trying to find a way to make this work out.
 
there are a few that even after learning that we dont get mounts would still like the bars but we would prefer them to be complete with hardware

Cool. I just ordered 20 sets of urethane bushings from BAT. I am selling them at cost: $15/set. I am assuming that 14 sets will be sold with the bars. The rest can be purchased independently.

So where do you want the addition $15 to go and when? I assume ASAP?

Could you tape a bow to mine? Hehehehe...

I would like the extra $15 anytime before Tuesday. And I would be happy to gift wrap your item. Does brown paper sound good? :)
