Beam Bending
Is anyone still doing this? Last i saw on the old forum, someone was trying to get a group up last year. I saw where someone posted up a link to a company in Atlanta that does this. i emailed them and it looks like it is more of a hardware change, not so much bending the beam. here is a link. B14 / B15 / Maxima Panhard Rod - Rear Roll Center Correction - Suspension & Chassis i would much rather have my beam bent than get this done.

What does a panhard bar have to do with bending the beam? The panhard bar does not correct the toe issue.

2 different things, they must not have understood what you wanted. You just want a bent beam, but they also sell a panhard bar.

You'd have to call again and tell them you just want the bent beam, but it's expensive (I believe Vadim posted the price). Also doesn't look like it's on their website.

yeah farther down under additions they have "add negative camber, beam bent - $299.99' so im guessing that's the price. really what i was looking for was i know there are certain people on the forum who can do this and depending on where they are, id be willing to drive to their shop.


edit: i got another email back. it is $300 for just the beam bending.

If they are adding more - camber, they have to bend it twice.

I do know of a smart fellow who added shims to the P11 beam for adjustable camber and toe, but that may be a bit out of the question.

2J is the only shop I'm aware of that does this on the east coast. $300 is cheap compared to all of the other money i've spent trying to get my B14 to rotate. I'm scheduled to have this done on 6/5 and testing it the next day at the track. i'm anticipated this to be the best mod I've done to date....we'll see.

If you do the panhard conversion with 2J, they will zero out your toe for $76 extra. You don't need to do the $300 negative camber one. But if you just want the beam bent then it's $350.
