hi. has any one made there own wonder bar. if so i would like to get deminsions{my car is covered in snow} to make my own. also has any one boxed in their rear control arms, and if it is worth the work. thanks kevin

 

In my opinion, wonder bars are cheap enough to buy. You should check out Top Down Solutions, they are a site sponsor at the top of the page. I bought mine from them and it is very good quality and very good price. As far as the control arms go, unless you really want to box your factory ones, they are also pretty cheap to buy in the aftermarket. I bought mine from Spohn, just the regular ones, not the adjustable ones or anything, and they are great as well. Just my opinion.

 

I agree with the TDS bar. Very nice peice. Can't wait to install mine. Boxing the factory LCA's is cake. Just be sure to replace the bushings in them. Just by boxing my LCA's and adding a poly torque arm mount made my car launch much harder.

 

if i were to make a wonder bar i'd get the snow off my car and measure it, nothing like having the dimension of the actual location the part will go in. as for boxing the rear LCAs it isn't much work at all, damn near no effort at all so yes i'd think it was worth it.

 

I made a wonderbar for my car... the dimentions were 28.5" long (bolt center to bolt center) and 3.5" between bolts (center to center) on each flange.

Yours may vary a little... every car is a little different.

 

hey air adam thanks for the info . have a nice day kevin

 

hello. id have to say they are cheap enough to buy as well, i have a spohn performance adjustable one on my i roc and it was only 95 bucks, a non adjustable is only 60 from them, very cheap but very noticable improvement.

 

i made my own....took me about 2 hours to do the hole thing.

its made from heavy 1/8 wall 1" square tubing with 3/16" flanges.....fits mint.

Good job... looks way better than mine, lol

I think the way I made mine, its too weak to do much good, so I just bought a factory one for $5

 

just buy one, its prolly just as cheap to find one online. before you get one of TDS check out ebay motors. you can usually find one there even cheaper.

 

anyone have pics of them installed in their car

so what does it do exactly

 

its like a STB for the bottom. links the frame togeather causing less stress around the steering box and crisper cornering/steering. if youve ever seen pictures of a cracked steering box area, youll want to buy one after looking

wow i liked the boxed one. i have boxed subs and arms. wish they sold boxed braces. i want everything on my car boxed. hell, if they had boxed sway bars id buy em trying to keep my suspension totally BMR though
