You might want to check your link, I'm just getting the classified section.

 

That looks pretty sweet but I already have the Neuspeed Front X Brace - Mounts in the same front 4 points. I have the carbing rear tie bar and I can say Carbing is good stuff. The only thing I would worry about is ..... EBAY!!!!! Especially for the $$$. Whats that about??

 

By the way, if your car is already lowered and you plan on buying that - watch for dips. My X brace bottoms out sometimes and when I change my oil i have to dig the asphalt out of the chasis.

I have Tein S-Tech Springs.

 

How do you like your S-techs?

 

They are decent but if I was smarter i would have saved my money and invested in Coilovers. Which is what im doing now.

The stechs have a pretty nice spring rate though.

 

whats up everyone. that's my carbing bar for sale.
what do you mean for the money?? that's a HELL of a deal, that bar goes for 385 brand new. it's Carbing in case you didn't remember, not neuspeed. it's ok on lowered cars, just not too low. i had the spoon progressive springs on my car and i rarely hit anything with the bar. i put it up for sale because i think i want to go lower. if it doesnt sell though i'm putting it back on because it makes a hell of a difference.

 

And why is carbing better than neuspeed? Because it's all "jdm yo"?

I'm looking for a technical reply.

i didnt necessarily say it was better, just comes with a name and 2 more points. you want a technical reply to what question? you lost me. everyone knows carbing is expensive for everything, part of the price is probably in the name.

 

i thought they were made for RHD cars? wouldn't this hit any of your reservoirs on a USDM?

technical: he just wants a logical explanation why it's better functionally, not by name or cause its "JDM'

 

it's underneath the car. it does hit the cat though however. i just took my heatshield off and it doesnt hit anymore. i dont have a technical explanation as to why it would be better than the neuspeed since i've never tried the neuspeed one. i can tell you that it would seem to be better though since it has 6 points instead of 4, just as a 6 point roll cage is more stable than a 4 point cage.

 

 

Then it's more expensive than the D3 unit with the same number of points.

That D3 bar only has TWO stress points. Looks unstable Not a good choice. The Carbing and Nuespeed have SIX stress points.
