Default Concensus on C pillar bars?

I did some searching, and found mixed reviews. I'm just wondering what my fellow ITR owners think of these bars? Useful? Or waste of money?

i have one. and it seems to work good in my car. but then again i have also added a spoon lower tie bar and a spoon upper rear strut bar.


but overall to me it was worth my 125 dollars for the j's racing pillar bar

C-pillar, is that the bar above the rear seats that bolt to the rear seat belt mounts? IF so then If your going to have one and have passengers PLEASE put Padding on it. I was in an accident and my friend who was in the back hit his head, good thing it was a minor bump...

Now as for helping the caR in structure, I have that and a rear strut bar and I feel the car is a bit stiffer but to be honest I felt more of a difference when I put the strut bar on then that.

Safety first when adding interior pieces that are hard and unforgiving.

I've heard that it really doesn't add much in terms of structural rigidity. you'd be better off with a rollbar

the only thing that the c-pillar bar is good for is as a camera mount anything else is just a waste of money! . As far as feeling any difference, you dont and if you say you do it is in your head.

I gots an Alex one from AJR for a good price. I already had a Spoon rear strut bar installed so I was stiff in the rear already. I didn't notice too much difference at all, if any, but it sure does look 'bling'. Good for a camera mount or hanging your dry cleaning. It pretty much makes your back seats useless but for me that is a plus. If you can get one for cheap then it's a good 'bling' mod. Other than that it's for show.

Techno spirit bar is one piece. I have no way of saying if it actually made a difference, but I can say it won't flex unless I get in an accident.
