Their quality is so-so. But for what they are there's nothing for them to fail. They are pieces of metal that bolt down and don't move - exactly what they're intended to do.

fake bars?? metal is metal..there is no faking that. if you are talking knockoff then yeah that is what passwordjdm does. i bought the bar for 120 bnib. thats a good price and the fact it is a rigid design is what i like. no bolts to hold a mounting plate to the bar etc.

i also rock rotas! im down for the fake funk!

I run these in the F/R of a 93 Del Sol. They transform the handling capabilities on this chassis, stiffening the obvious flex providing better geometrey. Good bang for the buck in my opinion, I prefer the subdued finish. Not too flashy.

i have the rear pwdjdm bar...no front bar.

the 2 bars you mentioned are obviously different due to the 2pt vs 3pt but also the mounting points are different. also too the construction is different which would play a difference in flex points also.

This from a guy who rocks Rota and other knock offs. Most of my posts were about saving your $$ and buying the real, correct parts. If the truth is leaving you all butt hurt then I really didn't care about your feelings in the first place.

haha. yeah iam crying now. you got me.

your ingorance is apparent. you didnt reply back on the other thread because again you were wrong.

also it is apparent that you are just a hardparker. since you brought up benen i will have you knowi have owned all the og benen bars for a "eg/dc" chassis besides the rear strut...check my old for sale threads. also same applies for spoon stuff. anyways as i have grown and i have put my money and car to better use. i forgot there are correct parts...they are all parts from a bys lip to apc taillights. parts are parts. can you get sw388s in a 7.5in variety?? didnt think so...slipstreams you can. lol.

PWDJDM bars are aluminium that still bends (a bit) when pushed. See here for reviews.

Try Explicit Speed Performance bars, these are solid steel.

I have a PWJDM one on the rear. Picked it up for $50 to get rid of my ebay strut bar and it's pretty nice. Not as nice as my Spoon Sports front strut bar but I like it.
