I'm curious which one is actually better than the other, because I'm interested in swapping my Megan Racing strut bars (rear and front) with either brand. Comments from people that have them installed in their cars would be appreciated..

Thanks!


Carbing:

Password JDM 3 point Strut Bar:



Price isn't really an issue, I'll just wait til I can afford the particular brand

 

one is the knockoff of the other without the knockoff price

 

Carbing is bling points and has the MC brace.

As far as one being better than the other, it's peanuts. I believe the PW:JDM has an extra rib welded inside the steel tubing, but it's nothing to write home to mama about.

 

Here are a few of the differences I noticed in the bar itself....






I don't think either of those things would make a very noticible difference but it just makes the Carbing bar look beefier IMO. It could be just that the bars in the pics are that way because they are for different applications. Also as a bonus, the Carbing bar comes with a brake master cylinder stopper. I don't know if it makes a difference, but it's suppost to increase brake pedal feel and response.

Overall I like the Carbing bar more. Thats just my $0.02

 

Carbing FTW...

i hate passwords customer service.

 

they both bend, so it really doesnt matter and will boil down to its resale value in the next years when you sell it. good luck

 

One bar isn't really better than another in terms of performance. Either it flexes or it doesn't. Even 3 pt bars aren't much better than a 2 pt. Only in theory.

 

password ftw, i like the bronze coating.

 

carbing ftw. its a 2-in-1 bar with its master cylinder brace.

I'd take either of those bars over a POS heim-joined ebay special. Megan bars are ****.

 

atleast these are quality pieces and dont have swivel joints... besides bling points are worth it.

and megan bars or any other name brand/off brand isnt bling?

 

Not comparably to Carbing/Password JDM. Just stare at a picture of each, and you'll see.

 

different people, different perspective

 

I suppose, but a 3 point w/ goodies over a 2 point adjustable is much better looking IMO

 

I have the password bar and I LOVE IT! but do like the carbing bar a lot also for the fact of the mbc brace. but I notice a huge difference from my gsr bar to the password bar.

 

Password bar

 

No contest, get the CARBING bar. Im getting one real soon.
