I have a 5/16 spacer on order, so I guess its Richie for me.

Has anyone confirmed that it will fit the sedan yet? If someone in Norcal has one and wants to test fit on my 06 please PM me.

I think if I have time this weekend then me and aHero will find out for you. If I have time, because I will need to swap the bar to his car and see if it works with his coilover.

I'd think this new bar would have installation issues with all modded g's... whoever designed this bar didn't model all the possible outcome or potential upgrades that owners have put into their car.... it may be cheap but at the cost of preventing other mods from improving the cars breathing or suspension characteristics....

You gain some and you loose some, CS posted that their R&D was base on OEM Spec & Set up. There are few car's OEM strut bar need to be replace when the owner wants to upgrade the suspension.

Look at the thick mounts. If you have a sedan, you are going to have a hard time with this one.
Is the Circuit Racing STB made out of Aluminium or Stainless Steel?

I'm sure it's all aluminum, judging by the color and the fat aluminum welds. I guess I'll have to change my mind a bit. If you look closely, it misses the ac mount that the richie bar slides under. But it also looks like you have to lose the green mount for this one to work.

I did see that, but seeing that they also stated that it fits the coupe with no adjustment to the A/C line and Bob had to move his A/C bracket I do not know how well I can trust there statement. (post #96)

I would like to see it installed on a sedan prior to my order for a new strut bar.
