The BEST Strut Bar on SALE!

Just a heads up to anyone that doesn't visit any other forum here, we have the producer of basically THE BEST strut bar on the market making some, and they're on sale. I'm trying to get at least 10 buyers. The price is $450 with a 50% deposit required.
Regular price for this is usually $500.

Add your name to the list if you want one.

the only way to get comparable results is to run two separate strut bars in the front. One for the front of the engine bay and one in the standard position. If you add up the price for both of those, you are still saving money with the RA strut bar.

hahaha, nope No strut bar is for sale for the G35 for 150 shipped. The metal alone is what makes the strut bar so expensive. High grade stuff is used so the profit margins aren't great to begin with.

$500 seems high, but I've also known of strut bars and braces that exceed $2000!. My questions would be:
1) What advantage would this strut bar have over others (especially existing Titanium or carbon fiber ones that cost <$300))?
2) Would it offer superior protection of the strut tower top (to prevent "mushrooming") than others that may cost $200 less?
3) Does it have any pivots or heim-style joints to allow the bar to flex or bend, but adjustable, to allow for intention suspension changes?
4) Does it allow for suspension changes (for those that frequent the track), superior to others?
5) What is the material used and does it offer superior resistance to heat expansion ((CTE) than other bars?

Answers to these questions might make it easier to sell, especially to guys who really push their cars.

Just my 12¢.

The bar is basically an active one. I just installed mine (yesterday) that I bought used from another member and it makes a huge difference.

think of it this way... the front of the car has to be completely off the ground in order for you to set the cross bar in place. Once you put it in, tighten the nut/bolt and lower the car, the thing isn't coming out because there is now pressure on the bar while the car is at rest.

I already had Tein Mono flex coils, with stillen sways before installing it, and I've noticed a tremendous difference.

I agree, it's an expensive item, but it's well worth the money.

I'm not sure what the ARC bar is made of - I also have never held it in my hands but I've held one of the ARC replica bars and if you put a bit of your weight on it, it'll bend. I tried it with this bar - no such noticeable flexibility.

I'll try and get a picture up.
