People won't help you out if you post just a link to a website and not a direct link to the picture. I've done the harderst part for you.



YUmmmm race exhaust manifold....yummmm again.

It doesn't look too shabby to me. Have you gotten a price quote? Compare that with the 3pt Carbing upper front strut and it seems like it may be a better fitment in DC2's just because it clears the reservoir.

Carbing looks more yummy though.


Benen gets a from me too!

well there are a couple companies out there with 3 pt bars for g3 tegs. And many people have had a lot of great things to say... but as for that particular one, its a first for me. HOwever, that does not mean at all that it will perform any worse. ONe of the reasons that members don't go for the 3 pt though is because they aren't legal in certain autox events. but if that doesnt matter to you .. then by all means... but u should take a look at the one from benen and carbing as well. hope that helps

thanks for postin up the pic of the strut bar...i want it more for performance and money is important, so i dont really wanna buy carbing just because of the name brand if its not much different from the spoolin 3pt bar...i mean carbing is really nice but 350 bucks is more than my broke *** can afford

No problem...
I understand your concern about Carbing's ludicrously high price. you pay for the bLiNg y0!!

well have you gotten a price quote on the strut bar from that website?

Yes, I do have the Benen 3pt on my GSR and love it. Went really well with my ITR rear sway, and h&r sports/kyb agx setup. I just need better tires then I will be starting some autox. I don't care about it being illegal in some classes because I wont be driving to compete, I'll be in it for fun

EDIT: also Benen can be had for under $200

just have to shop around. We don't carry Benen ourselves, but Benen's own site only lists them for i think $199 and their site should have a list of distributors
I got mine thru a private seller
