Has anybody used a 700 series IPD 25mm front sway bar on a 200? I purchased a 25/25 bars off TurboBricks form Sam Byrd. Should have insisted on picutres. Got them in and I'm real excited about 25mm/25mm bar since I have 25/23 on my other car that I purchased directly from IPD. Tried to install them today and it don't fit good. I still missed it until I looked my other car. I was like a light bulb came on. Wrong bar and I know what it fits. I do think right on my car so this one will be for sell since Sam told me he does not own a 700, He had it on his 200 and hope it works out. Bull. I was the sucker trying to save a few bucks. Should have spent the cash on the 28/25 bars. Any thoughts guys? Greg

I know that a front swaybar for a 240 will be different than one for a 260.Maybe you have one for the b27/28 engine.

Ask IPD if they have any comment or adapter or suggested mod to the bar etc?
I'd be surprised if they have any of these but asking is free.

I think you owe Sammy a right hook to the jaw.

You are so right but it would be a front kick in the mouth first followed by the by a left right combination.

The guy's not giving your money back? That's not right. Though, you're certain this isn't one of the different "flavors" of 240 bars that IPD offers?

I'd be surprised that a 700 bar would actually fit on a 240.

you would be right on the money but want me to keep him informed. I took a second good look Wednesday and got it mounted it hands down a 3/4 inch below the center steal just in front of the oil pan. I had to bend the right brake hose bracket in toward the inner fender. I said 700 because it is stick forward like a 700. Could be a 260. My only experience is with 240's. I have had 4. Does drive better but when you are used to driving a lowered 244 with Bill S HD, IPD upper and lower braces as well as the factory firewall to tower braces, IPD adjustable pan hard rod and torque arms, its a world of difference in the driving experience. The struts & shocks also make a huge difference. the KYB on the 245 do not compare. I worked on the 245 until 4 A.M. do the brakes and front bearnings. You might say I'm a little crazy but time got away and that what I like about summer nights. I'm installing the rear 23mm sway from my 244 and putting the 25mm rear on the 244 next week. Going to start taking photographs in the next week or so. These old 240 do look good. Greg
