1) The fitment looks extremely tight on this bar. So a huge concern would be its fitment over plenums (as many people on here have a plenum of some sort)
2) As with richie's bar, it doesn't look like theres much room for those with full coilover setups.
3) Will this bar fit the sedans?
4) fitment for those with blowers? or even an aftermarket intake for that matter..
Im sure there are many other concerns that I missed, but you get the point. Even with the introduction of this bar, I personally still have no regrets with richie's strut bar at all.

I'm very pleased with Richie's strut bar. I'm kind of surprised how fast people are ordering this one without these questions being answered, or even some good hi-res photos of the strut tower mountings.
I guess at $139 its not that big a risk for some.

It looks like that is going to be a PITA with the AC line.
My Acr bar barely fits under the AC line--this one looks much thicker on the mounting plate and I think that AC line will not allow this one to go underneath it without some modifcation.

I have a Richie/ARC replica STB, I'm happy with it. This one, looks ok, hope it works well. And for anyone who didn't like $225, save $100 on this. But I'm good with what I have and can't use two.
This is no different than someone who pays $800 for a catback system and someone that paid $975 for a different brand... so long as you're happy with it, doesn't matter the price or what someone saved on theirs.
