Sumo Bars
davidlandy:
the only bad thing i heard about them was that due to the increased strength of the bars the next weakest part was the track rod end.
you can drive with a bent steering arm, but not a snapped TRend.
I have the sumo bars on mine - a very worthwhile investment!
beatmasterdave:
whats the best deal you guys found for the pair? im about to order mine. just to make double sure (yes i already asked this, but i cant rick the gamble), the bar behind the axle is exactly the same as the bar closest to the front? right? lol :oops: :wink:
..ooo and i already have the one right at the front, and used it a little bit against stumps etc. they are very impressive! 8)

Yeh, your probably right but the price difference is only £2.00 If it was £20.00 then I would go for the cheaper version, but for £2.00!
Chances are they are the same, but as a small point, I'd rather give my money to Ian for the originals that a large company that have bought them in from britpart or sum such.

Its the same construction, but a fair bit longer!

Thank you for your interest in Sumo bars
Our bars don’t have clamps, we use lock nuts which come with the bars.
As yours is a 200 Disco I need to know what length the front drag link bar is.
Either 760 or 835, easily recognized. The 835 has two Track rod end ball joints, the 760 has one, at the wheel end and the steering drop arm has a ball NOT the bar, the bar has a swan neck piece with a hole in it for the ball’s taper.
Prices is £95 inclusive of TNT delivery (next day) and vat. By mail would be £8.00 cheaper.
I can accept visa/ mastercard but not switch.
Give me a call one evening, (he did supply a number but I felt I shouldn't post it here)
Thanks again
Ian Sykes

Please excuse my ignorance, but do you still run a steering damper with these bars ?
