why did you sell it that quickly? was it really that bad?

 

The only thing that bar helped with was the sunroof pop. i didnt notice any better handling performance. I only did have it on for a day tho, still it was only bling under the hood. i love my RELENTLESS AUTOSPORTS STRUT BAR worth all the wait, money, and trouble to get

 

NRG strur bar review...bought a used one from a member here, who BSed his way about how good it is and this and that. When I've actually got the bar, it looked a bit flimsy. But when it came time to installing it...oh I had to put up a fight with it. I had to bend it with a grow bar, just a little so that the bolt aligns with the holes. When I've thought that was the end of my "struggle" I was given another surprise from NRG strut bar...since it needed some flexing to alight with the holes...now the strut bar itself, had a slight arch to it. Due to that arch, the hood was not latching and I wasn't going to force it. Took it right now and never put it on again.

Oh and I must add that NRG and the previous user swear by it, saying that I was installing it wrong. Tried installing with both wheels off the ground, with both on the ground...same affect!!!

So save yourself a headache and GO with a DIFFERENT brand other than NRG.
That is my 2cents

 

^Yeah, I don't think the NRG bar is that good either. Had to modify both mounts so it wouldn't hit the hood anymore, and it feels flimsy. Although I haven't seen a GTSpec bar in person it does look very similar to the NRG.

 

It does looks very similar from what I've seen in the pictures, since I haven't owned a GT Spec in the past.
I am surprised that there is not much input on this.

 

What are you going for? Do you want engine bling? If so, then it doesn't really matter what brand you go with. Do you want to stiffen your chassis? Then get chassis stiffeners and not a strut bar first. For most people the strut bar is more show than go since undercarriage stiffeners will help more than the strut bar will.

 

Unfortunately, chassis braces and lowered cars don't always go together.

 

I've had both bars. The GT spec bar is a far better product.

 

What problems have you had with NRG?

 

No real problems. The GT-spec is just a better bar (stronger, better fit/finish, aesthetics).
