Default Intrax Sway bar

So I'm ready to upgrade my suspension and I've been looking at the Intrax sway bar. Does anyone know where else to get these sway bars for less than what summit racing sells them for. Summit has them for $321 and will not have it in stock until August 3. Below are links to two places online that sells these sways. Anywhere else sells them?

Did you buy them recently, and how much total was it if you don't mind me asking. Also, I believe these will fit on the GS300 also right because a friend of mine wants a set too.

Those Intrax sway bars are barely larger then stock sway bars especially the front size. The stock sizes are fronts: 28.5mm and rears: 14mm. Intrax's are fronts: 29mm and rears: 19mm Would that make a dramatic difference?

The Stock Front Sways are hollow and if memory serves me the Intrax are solid. This is where you should notice the difference. Does anyone out there have them and how much of a difference did you notice?

I'm also wondering about the improvement in body roll as well. I believe a few california people had the RMM edition GS and these sways were fitted to those cars. So I guess we need to find out who has these sways and ask them about the ride difference.

KW, correct, the Intrax bars are solid as opposed to the stocks which are hollow. Big Improvement, installed last month, no issues, paid $352 total from SFX.

These sound like a great value. I may have to bite the bullet when Summit gets theirs in. In the meantime, I'm going ahead with swapping my swaybar bushings out with Energy polys.

The Intrax kit comes with a good set of polys.

Do a search in the GS suspension forum and type in the key word "Intrax".

Search, search , search

Intrax are adjustable front and rear.

Don't ask me how I know.

Sorry my 6 month update is 6 months late.

No issues, very good product. Only thing I would reccomend is a new set of rear links as I noted in my other post. New rear links would have made it tighter from the get go. Also this rear bar is adjustable, but for some reason the end links can only be attached to the middle mounting position.
