Dean will usually give a little bit when buying multiple items. I think it may be shipping related, but not sure.
Anyway, it was $785 for all 3, the ice box was 240.

I didnt feel the sways giving any penalty at all on the freeway. If anything, the steering wheel felt ever-so-slightly tighter, which I actually enjoyed- more road response.

DeezNuts and Inferno.
Dean just PM'd me and said the Ice Boxes have not shipped yet.
He'll be calling CT tomorrow to find out where they stand.

I believe Comptech uses an unloaded antiroll bar, meaning they are put in without having to torque the "arms" so they are not contributing too much to the "springing" of the car except in hard turns. I believe that, as such, their affect during highway miles would remain vertually none. Does anybody have a different understanding about this?

Heh, I ran into CharlesNguyen (he has a body kit on the CL molded from the TL kit) on the George Bush turnpike at Coit Rd.
I was in my daily driver, so he obviously didn't recognize me(not that he has ever seen me before). I couldn't keep up with the bastard! He was doing about 90 mph, and well, my little ol' daily car can't keep up with that.
So in short, I got toasted by a CL-P today. :P

I'd figure you have at least 50%. So $50 each for 50% - 60%, $70 for 70% and $75 for 80%. Just a guess . . ., you can always ask for more or have them make and offer.
Remember, you can get new tires like Inferno did for about $100 each.

Still no ETA on the ice box
and I can't work in my spring and sway installation before Friday.
So it will be a couple of weeks before I can work that in now.
