So we take both axles off and send them to you, you rebuild one and send us another of different diameter and send them back?

What kind of turn around is that?

Thanks. I'm guessing they re-use all but the axle itself.

I personally was set to buy stuff from gforce when they first arrived on the other forum, but the way you act towards hendrix with no real reason turns me off from doing buisness with people you support.

Im really excited to get Skulls test results back but i have a few cores ready to go!There is really no other way to make this work other than replacing the other bar,at this time i dont think that is nesacery.Im going to let the cat out of the bag and say i will be making a passanger side bar for a tester that already will have a driver side replacement and give you guys all the info to see if its worth replacing the other one as well.That way we will have some data to prove if the one will work fine or the two would be better.I was just trying to save everyone as much money as posible,Thanks for your suport!

I think you need to read up a bit before you open your mouth.

well damn... i support cadillac.. and single moms! lol

ok... sorry for asking questions and stating opinions.. (isnt that what forums are for?????????????????????????????????? guess you think differently!)

i like companies that are 110% TRUTHFUL! to say "I"/"ME"/"MY" and the product isnt yours.. that isnt being truthful... for the same price you can get a gforce axle kit... made in USA, Upgradable!!, and are THEIRS!!!!!!!! not relabled products. if you guys dont agree with it or dont like it then join a club where everyone thinks alike! not a FORUM, where people are there for the same reason... but ask questions, do reviews, Loves/Hates....

know what i mean???

you have to send them your axle first, then they send your axle back with a smaller bar. therefore downtime for your car. sounded good to me till i realized all they were doing was replacing something on ur own axle and your car would be down. i cant have my car down for really any time since its my only vehicle and im not taking a bus to work.

i think you can order from their website, might be a good deal for somebody that doesnt daily drive theirs

He has some already made so there will be no downtime. There will be a core program where he sends you a new axle (its actually larger diameter I am pretty sure) and then you send back yours.

Where do we order??? And does it eliminate wheel hop like your more expensive bars, but with only less of a power rating, or is this another band aid? The price seems to good to be true.
