Default Any1 tried NRG stut bars?

Heres a link, they are relatively cheap, but from what ive heard, VERY good for the price.

As u can see, there are 3 styles, Carbon Fiber, Titanium, and Flat. All for around $100 Canadian.

if u have any info on these bars please post up, i might get one after reading how much REd.Em2. loved his neuspeed upper bar.

Hopefully i can engineer a way to slide my AEM SRI out of the way, so I can fit the smaller Titanium strut bar in.

Do u think it will make that much of a difference considering its a 3 piece, apposed to Neuspeed's 1 piece design?

Here are the pics and this is the link.

CARBON FIBER

Titanium

FLAT FRONT


Pics will be up shortly, im at my university and the comps gonig MAD slow.

Of the three, I'd say the flatbar one looks most likely to be stable. But, I know you'll notice a difference when you put one on, so best of luck.

I went to the shop, and held one up. didnt look like it would be even close to working with the AEM Sri, so i guess i gotta save for the neuspeed.

the downside is that you won't be able to clear it with an intake on. the only strutbars that can clear any aftermarket intake is dc sports, neuspeed, and greddy (rsx model)
