Default H -Bar thank you

Just a quick note to say that I just installed my H-bars and What a difference!
What was the factory thinking? On some surfaces the ride was so soft as to be almost dangerous. If some couch potato wants an ultra cush ride they should buy an old Cadillac. Thanks to all who have gone before and recommended this mod.
Next, install the hitch.

Default How was the install? How long did it take?

I'm still waiting for mine. Josh says they're finally on their way.

Default Re: H -Bar thank you

I've been reading all of the rave reviews on the H-bars. Has anyone had a negative experience regarding warranty invalidations?

I'm ready to put them on front and rear on my 04 2.7 if there are no such issues.

Default I think one of the factory concerns was probably offroad performance

I have the H bars as well, but I would imagine anyone taking the allroad offroad regularly would really want to think hard about staying with stock

Default Agree with scfan, I love my H bars but when I went offroad I had to go about 20MPH slower around

curves so my back end did not come around.
But on the other hand I hardly go off road!

Default What's the going price for a set of H-sports? And is the highest setting the way to go?

in the rear...I've read that alot have set it to soft and then eventually, put it on the highest setting...should I set mine firsthand to the highest setting and not even bother going soft?

i see that nopi.com has the set for $323. will probably get it there.

TIA

Default That's where several of us got ours...

...and I believe used Nopi's price to negotiate with their local shops to meet/beat.

Hard setting is the way to go. Enjoy! )

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/78754/ardriveside.jpg"></center><p>It took me about an Hour and a half and it was made easier by the instructions that one of the forum members posted with the important tip of setting the suspension at Level 4 when doing the rear and level 1 when at the front . The rest is straight forward.
