Default best tower bars in Japan.

Built by Okuyama sold under the name CARBING and RIGID.
The Mugen rear bar is a copy of this bar. The front bar has firewall connection point for better stability. It's a Rally and Gymkhana parts based company that also sells Rollcages, lower arm bars, body strengthening parts, and lots of other stuff. Sorry but the site is Japanese only so you need to use a translator.

yoshi.. I got tired of people calling me dreal and Dee is actually my nickname! I want to get the Carbing front tower bar but that means I'll have to re-arrange my fuel setup since the FPR is located at the firewall mounting spot..

Me likes this tower bar! Very Very functional and the RHD drivers can use the built-in master cylinder brace!

Price? And is the front bar going to fit well in a LHD car rather than the RHD which is what this one is obviously designed for?

Yeah I saw these braces first from Rigid last yr from my supplier that was pushing Rigid then. But I didn't know Okuyama was OEM of this bar. I guess its up to the person if they want silver or yellow coloured ones from Rigid. I haven't seen the Carbing ones though.

I was thinking about this setup awhile back becuase the bar is in great area to tie down remote res. from Penseke Racing setup. Well this was what I wanted if I would kept my car hehe.

Send me IM and I'll give you quote on Rigid or Okuyuma about the only difference is colours and names and one will be abit slightly higher then the other.

Kengs I do too. He's from around here or use to be.

Get an OMP, basically the same thing. In terms of no-pivot points and made of same material as roll cages. Solid!

Look at the yello Rigid bar. It is sans MC brace. The brace is an add-on item.
