Helix Designs A800X LP12 swaybar mounts

Helix Designs have introduced their new LP12 swaybar mounts for the Awesomatix A800X and A800X Evo. With the evolution of setups and new A-arms released for the Awesomatix A800X, it is often needed to modify the stock Awesomatix P12X sway bar mounts to run specific setups. Are new Helix LP12 swaybar mounts have fixed the two major problems with the stock part. Drivers can now run low AT21-S balls and/or any current A-arm without any modifications. Made with durable nylon and tested successfully by top Awesomatix USA team drivers at the 2018 NYGP and 2018 USIC, the parts are a drop fit and they include 3x3mm and 3x4mm droop screws.
