and so far I came up with

benen
password

rigid

None of them, spend the money on track time

 

Yeah youre probally right but I still want one.

 

If you had the prices next to each of those itd be a lot easier.

Im not even running the OE bar as the GC top hats got in the way and I dont think I'll ever spend another $ on any bars, besides the rollbar I have coming.

You have to do some... uh... "clearancing" of the gc mounts. But they're soft and doesnt take much time at all.

 

I went with the password. Quality piece They all serve the same function so just buy the one you like the best.

 

i agree with above! not that i have one but I want one!
Soon as funds are my way i will get on ASAP!

 

I think password need a little competetion to bring there prices down.

200$ for a 3 point strut bar
$175 sure but not $200

 

Since when is $25 a deal breaker? Not trying to promote buying that or anything, but that just seems silly. "$175 is absolutely fine, but $200? Get a life, Password!"

 

I have the password bar and like it.

 

Password bar is not as strong as carbing. I have had both. The password one flexes at the shock area while carbing does not flex at all.

 

Really they look exactly alike

I agree. My weld in roll bar is the biggest chasis stiffening upgrade I've done to date. Two birds with one stone: Stiffness and Safety.

Just shave a tiny bit off the bar, and it will fit.

...and there is a difference...

I dont think that I'd ever be able to measure such a difference, with regards to the OEM bar being off, and on.

 

Could be mine just has more flex from age or use (the roads here are awful + 400/500 GC's on Full Stiff Koni Yellows).

The chassis gives before the suspension does

 

i had the benen 3 point. got rid of it and now i have the carbing 3 point =P

dress up part if anything haha

 

do you have a picture of the benen on your car?

do you guys think square tubes or round are better for strut bars?

 

yeah i have one:



old *** pic tho.

here's my carbing one:



haha a lot has changed since then =P

 

Yeah, like you have a valve cover now

 

Is it just me or does CARBING bars have a problem clearing the ITR MC resivor?

Ya actually I'm pretty sure it doesn't clear it on a LHD car.

 

the new ones don't have a problem with the LHD cars. mine fit no problem. it even has a brake mc booster welded on
