LOL. Skunk2 is pulling out all the stops!

And you won't notice a diference. Just a lighter wallet.

Tie bars don't to anything.

what else is done to your car. asr/ function7 brace and swaybar is a better place to spend the money

What about this bar of metal warrants a pricetag of $130? What "technology" goes into them?

progekSiR

alll i asked is if anyone is running it and have comments on it. nothing about technology

progekSiR

my old hatch i was running an asr subframe brace, function7 lca's, and an 18mm sway bar. was just looking into possibly trying a new setup

Then waste your money and wonder why you have to waste so much of it on something that does absolutely nothing. Anyone running one pretty much wasted coin that could have been spent elsewhere. It's the equivalent of those useless Beaks bars.

So I ask again; What about this piece of metal warrants the price tag?

And if you don't want to know what technology supposedly goes into one then I don't know what you want people to tell you. Perhaps "works good"? or "looks good"?

Just another shiny piece of metal that does nothing, Junk2 is still in business???

I would hardly call Skunk2 junk, but at the same time this bar is more for looks than actually doing anything. If you want a rear tie brace look into an ASR or Function7.

He said he HAD an ASR and wanted to try something different. Don't know what that meant. Obviously function is not the concern in this case.

i meant 19mm. it was the suspension technique kit

oh that's much better

progekSiR

Like I said, OP just wants a new outfit. Function does not play into this.

alphalanos

if you already had a rear sway and brace setup then idk why you want a tie bar. it does nothing extra at all

Libertariat

Because my 22mm bar is outrageous

This post just makes me all warm inside my distributor just talked me into getting the phi fifty and as far as Skunk2 goes they do make good products I haven't tested everything but my manifold and throttle body would really make you think twice as far as calling it "junk2" any things got to be better than Blow Blox lol!!!!'

speedjunkie_g35

So you have only delt with one of junk2's parts that involve moving parts? Def the junk2 expert with that kind of experience. Your lucky your not dealing with a sticky TB yet! You should take a look at who calls them junk... Most of the ones who have been around the block and push their cars to the limit with real world experience!
Have you ever delt with their suspension crap?? Because it is Crap and IMO on the same level as Blox!!! Just better advertising for the jdm fanboys. I will never own another Junk2 part again!!!

I don't understand this response. What's "thud-able" about an 18mm or 19mm sway bar?

doood

The fact that he was running an asr brace with it. Most likely for the bling factor.

m_shake

Asr and at least a itr rear bar, otherwise hardparker douche.
And I only say this because if your not running a sway bar big enough to risk subframe damage, your probably not produce cornering force that warrants any type of brace
