recently there was a post about the J's Racing pillar bar. well, courtesy of Leo aka DXLST on this board, i got my hands on one. sorry for the HORRIBLE pics






my first impressions, you'll definitely feel the difference in the rear end. from just daily driving, turning is more "precise". The rear end doesn't swing out as much if you take a hard turn. The bar will be tested a little harder on a autox course as soon as the heat calms down. but i would recommend this bar to anyone looking to stiffen up the chassis.
note: you can still use the back seatbelts but its a b!tch to bolt up the bar if you do so, and i usually do not run back seats but im carpooling with some friends for the summer...i feel sorry for the backseaters

 

Now you need a rear strut bar and a rear tie bar

 

looks good.. where can i get one, and how much do they usually run?

 

looks real good. any visibility probs looking thru rear view?

 

no problems looking out....it lies a little lower than the third brake light in the hatch

 

 

I've seen a lot of things done to a teg but this is wayyyyy too much.... hope it works!! Next thing I'm expecting to see is a strut bar across the front windshield!!!!

 

You can mount a camera for track events on that bar. My friend does that, although his bar looks a bit different than yours.

 

so how is this wayyyyyy too much? and yes it does work btw. a lot of understeer went out the window when i installed the bar.

aj racing carries J's i believe. i got mine from a friend for a special price..i would say around 150 or so

just like koy said...none, but you can see in the rear view, it just doesn't block anything
