    The best power parts take time, lots of R&D, patience and money but the time is worth that wait.

    I always enjoy looking at how everything just purposely flows together and the skill set it took on making the welding just blend in seemlessly. Living a sheltered life I had never heard of much less seen a bladed sway bar so I learned something today.

    Craftsmanship, and design are awesome. Takes a real artist to visualize something like this, and then to make it happen.
