"Circuit Sports aluminum strut bar is not only light but one of the strongest. Bar is made straight off CNC process with tripple tube construction which makes the bar extremely strong but yet lightweight.

Bars are in stock ready to ship, will call welcome by appointments only. Now offering March specials with FREE GROUND SHIPPING within continental U.S. MSRP: $149.95, please pm for special pricings."

darn, i should've gotten this also instead of the richie strut bar.. even with the group buy, it was $225, and it's not the most complicated piece of equipment to machine/fabricate.

God...

This seems so appealing due to its price.

But im not going to take my chances.

Richie's strut bar has been proven to have an [almost] perfect fit, and does what its suppose to do.

the bar was R&D'ed for stock plenum. Depending how high the Crawford plenum brings up the height you might need to add spacers. The bar will not rub stock hood, but if you add spacer to accomodate the plenum then I am not so sure.

I took a good look at the Circuit Sports bar and it looks nice especially considering the comparatively low price. But I don't think it would clear my APS plenum, and from a careful look at the photos of Circuit Sports bar, it appears that it eliminates the A/C line support bracket on the driver's side strut tower.
I have Richie's strut bar and both of these issues are not a problem with his bar.

Yeah, I noticed that too...I wonder if a slight modification can be made so that the support bracket isn't removed.
