Mugen, ITR, SI/GSR strut bars? like can you really feel a difference or is it just bling?

 

the theory is that since the bars like mugen have no pivot points and are straight through, they are more rigid...doing a better job. bars that have pivot points or holes in them would compromise rigidity. i really doubt you can tell a significant difference with ANY strut bar. (saying all that I have a mugen rear, and plan on getting a mugen front ) i can say the quality on the mugen (welds and overall construction) is top notch.

 

as far as 2 pt bars go, i would agree with that.... but i personally like the 3pt+ bars like the carbing, benen or the edelbrock one. I especially like the edelbrock and neuspeed ones cuz they bolt to th upper control arm bolting point instead of the strut mounting points.

However, i don't think that the 3pts are legal in the scca auto-x events if that concerns you.

 

ya i'm ruling out the 3pt cause of auto-x, do you know why they are illegal? also agree on the welds and quality of the mugen piece cause thats what i have for the front , but i was thinking of maybe selling it and getting a gsr one and have some cash for other stuff.

 

what about the neuspedd four point? is that allowded in auto x? i have been thinking about getting it but i auto cross and haven't really looked into the do's and don'ts yet.
