I don't know what is more scary, the face that I said it or the fact that you recognized it.

The problem is that there are very few front strut bar made for the G35. The only ones that I know of is VRT and ARC and both of those are around $600. Richie's bar is a copy of the ARC bar just made out of alumium instead of titanium. $225 isn't bad at all, the Freedom bar I had on my miata was $180 and it was not as nice or as adjustable as this on.

the vrt is ~450-500.

and yes, arc is ti and ti > aluminum in my book.

don't get me wrong, i'm not bashing richie's strut bar at all. he provided us with what we all wanted. a cheap (price wise) version of what everyone has been looking for. 225 is a great deal for what you get.

I agree with you 100%, but I can't justify a $200-$300 difference for titanium over aluminum. It may be stronger but I don't think it would be enough to notice.
