Re: Possible that CPP shipped wrong sway bar..????

My guess would be that most cpp items don't interchange with porterbuilt, but like I said thats just a guess

It's a pretty standard sway bar...but yeah porterbuilt does tend to do their own thing...without telling anyone..!!

You are right, Nate just responded that they make their own bar for $289...vs $99 for the same diameter CPP bar.

Quite a few hidden surprises using Porterbuilt stuff..! A lot of delays/late shipments/wrong shipments/extra parts needed/lack of info.

Very hard to compare prices going in without knowing all these things. I wanted the 1" forward lower arms but with all the other hassles and add-ons it cost quite a lot more than other alternatives and the delays added by using them put me way behind. Frustrating when I get a weekend free then find I've got the wrong parts or need something in addition. Then get new parts and another weekend and get another surprise.
