Yeah, I dont have much faith in eibach. When I was looking at springs, turned out they sold the cobalt ones as HHR parts without compensating for the additional rear weight. That and a few stories of broken springs. They seem to offer good support and replacement of broken parts, but Id rather not have parts breaking at all.

Jay: I got one one Powell's bars before they quit selling them to OTTP. My "Hardcore" bar had a Powell sticker on it.
If you have a 1 1/2" rear bar[ Powell's], I'd sure like to know how it works at full tilt boogie. If it works better than my 1 1/4" bar, I'd sure be intrested.
Been told for every quarter inch bigger on the bar, exerts four time the amount of force on opposite wheel, in a turn.
I know for sure my present bar works really good, but if a even bigger bar works better, I'd switch. "Moon"
