Carbing strut tower bars...are they any good??



ive heard from my mate tat it understeers on his egk20a due to direct steering...so just wondering how it would do on my dc2r which has only air intake and full exhaust mod...

thx for the help guys...really appreciate it...

 

I'm really a big fan of the Carbing bars. Full JDM look. As far as a review; I know some peeps up here running the full set(front, rear, c-pillar) and all of them say they're great. If I had the cash to pony up for them I would.

On a side note, the password JDM front bar are of the same design for a little cheaper. Check out the Performance Section

 

I don't know how that would even be possible! Carbing bars are awesome!

 

Password claims that the beams they use have an inner supports where the carbings are hollow. I would still buy the carbings for the JDM factor...

 

picked up the passwords (knock off carbings) and I am Very pleased
Just as good as the Mugen bar I had before and then ran over on accident

 

PWJDM

Carbing is also well constructed, but they're meant for RHD and don't fit quite as well as the PW's from what I hear.

 

There are LHD Carbings available. I like the DC Sports blue bar, full USDM look.

understeer and oversteer are not the same thing If you feel this reply doesnt make sense then read the starting post again.

And please dont post confirmations on you knows w/ a link to the nfo.

i agree. with he price of one carbing 3pt strut bar. you can buy the PWJDM replica bar plus the rear strut and lower tie bar for the same price.

 

I love mine, and you can actually feel the difference in the rigidity of the car compared to oem when cornering hard, it fits fine except it makes it near impossible to unscrew the brake reservoir when you need to add fluids. But its not that hard to remove four bolts to take off the strut bar.

Well considering that I have a REAL JDM Itr then you may or may not realize how rare it is and how I would want to keep japanese parts on the car!!!

Also with a stiffer chassis, improper tires and suspension a less experienced driver could very well think he/she has alot more understeer!!!

How does one quantify a 'good strut bar' ?

I sure as hell don't know how I could (just by looking) deterimine what is and what is not a good design. And I sure as hell have no idea if " when i put on my mugen strut bar it felt *different* " is a good different or not.

I suppose Any bar for the front is good enough, and a rear bar is nice too, unless you have a rollbar at which time it becomes a bit unnecessary.

Chris - who really does not understand this Forum when it comes to comments of 'good design' and 'good results' - on what basis? Look, Bling, and a tower bar/suspension-esque butt dyno?

Not picking on anyone in particular. Picking on everyone.

Thinking along the same lines...

Stock is more then enough for me

 

thats bc you guys have never owned a carbing 3pt bar

btw, STOCK blows

 

&lt;--- Was an owner of Password bars a while back...
Nothing impressive. But I do remember when we went out to Miguel's house with the Carbings...

Those I would rock IF Free
