Circuit Sports front chassis bar

Circuit sports lower chassis bar – front

Stiffens up the chassis in the front. Goes beneath the oil pan.

Am selling because I put in an oil pan spacer and it doesn’t look possible to have both at the same time. There is a small area where something or other rubbed on the orange paint and took it off, but otherwise, the bar is is great condition.
$50 + shipping to your destination via FedEx Ground from Long Beach, CA (90802)

Thanks!

Is this a rebadged GTSpec bar, or a knockoff?

It's not a rebadged bar.

I'm not sure if it's a knockoff or not. It was one of the original Circuit Sports bars (you can tell because it's orange isntead of blue, which I think is the color now) and I installed it on the car back in 2004 (my car was used as the prototype for measurements).

That being said, I don't know anything about the inner workings of the company or the R&D being done there so.... who knows if it is a copy or not? Or if it even is the copy; maybe it's the original.

It sure does look the same though!

Any shots of it installed, and any idea if it will clear an AAM Angled Plenum spacer?

Sorry. I personally did not take any shots of it installed.

I have the regular AAM oil spacer (don't know if the angled one is different or not, although mine is not angled in the slightest) and it was unable to fit with it. It's got pretty tight clearance with the stock oil pan.

Quick answer: I don't know. At the risk of sounding like a bad salesperson, I probably wouldn't try it until I found out for sure. If you're in the area, though, I wouldn't mind if you came by and we could try it just to make sure.

Thanks!

Ah yes!
Thanks for the correction. I have problems reading, it seems.

yeah, it goes underneath the car along the chassis underneath the oil pan. It's not a tower strut bar. So I guess it would work with your AAM angled plenum.

My car is actually not that low. The front is lowered a bit, but it's also sitting on 20s so it offsets it some. I do scrape the lower engine plastics a little bit at the apex of sharp hills/driveways.

Most of the bar actually sits underneath that lower engine plastic tray. That protects most of it from straight up scratching all the paint off of the bar. If your tend to scratch that tray a lot, or if you don't have it and your car is lowered significantly, then you might have a cause for concern. If not, then you'll probably be good to go.
