NRG richie strut bar fitment

has anyone bought the nrg strut bars from statik on here? im interested in buying one so i did some research and found that people have been having fitment issues with this version of the bar. I was wondering if the issue has been resolved and if anyone has installed the bar without any problems.

Refer to this thread. If you're having the same issue as me, then the problem is your bracket according to James @ NRG. Supposely They'll be getting some new brackets by the end of this month so he'll give me a replacement.

Mine should be here any day. If it rubs or otherwise has fitment issues you can bet i will be posting my discontent.

got mine today. Haven't installed yet but I already have concerns.

Brackets seem very solid and well done. The bar itself however not so much.

The cylinders welded to the end of the bar that the bolt slides in don't look perfectly straight. The drivers side angles out slightly at the rear of the bar and the passenger side does the opposite. Whether that is intentional for fitment or a poor jig remains to be seen.

My biggest concern is the bar flex. if you lay it flat on the floor and apply weight to the center it will bow in. If I put one end on the floor and put my 175lb weight on the top it will bow out.

I thought the point was to add rigidity. If the bar itself can flex what exactly is it accomplishing?
