Anyone running a Weapon R/Wicked Industries X bar yet? Looks like a very good design for it's price. EMRacing is a little better suited for daily driving since it has quick release, but I carry a socket set in the car anyways and have AAA in case of a flat and if I ever need to get to my spare. Also EMRacing bars are about $125 each and will cost almost double the price of the Weapon R bar once you get the triangulated design.

X-CROSS STRUTBARS

The WR X-CROSS STRUTBARS were designed to elimnate any body roll from the car. Made of Billet 7075 Aluminum to ensure strength, weight savings and durability. This Rear Strut Bar ties all the most rigid points of the car together to obtain a SUPER RIGID CHASSIS.

Strut mounts are CNC Machined and then TIG Welded for strength and finally polished to a show quality shine. So if your heavily into Road Racing or Drag Racing this is the only Strut Bar you will ever Need!

looks like a few companies are just rebadging these and selling them for much more.

 

I wonder what the guys in the Road Racing/Autocross forum would think of this...there goes the spare tire well too

 

i'm going to go throw up.

What makes it a good design? Explain.

If you want rigid, get a rollcage and reinforce your chassis.

Those are just bling, wanna-be monkey barz.

 

nice

AUSTIN WHERE ARE YOU?

clitz - who thinks it was expo 4.. then.. not much more contact from austin. hope all is well if you are out there reading!

 

i heard from a friend that it's not too bad for further rear end reinforcement ( weapon r x brace) and i think that you can actually buy it for cheaper than the 215 price posted. The good thing is that you can still hide it with the cargo cover if you still have a full interior rather than using the EM racing bars which you can't really hide (thief magnet). The only bad part is that you lose pretty much your whole trunk area and the whole issue with the spare tire inaccessibility.
