Rear Strut Tower Bar Teaser
Per Zack these should be ready for sale in mid-January. You guys are gonna love this bar!
Got the modified prototype back from powder coating the other day, here's a couple of pics. The bar not only has the adjustable ends to allow for preload, but also 3 positions for height as well. The hardware in the pictures isn't final, and excuse the stripped trunk - most of the interior is still gone from the past track days we attended. We should have some ready for sale by the middle of January... options and pricing to follow soon 
Wes...yes, it's pretty easy to remove the Bar. All you will need to do is loosen the two jam nuts before turning the Bar. Turning the Bar will release pre-load tension that's on the Brackets. Then the two Bolts, holding the Bar in place, can be removed and the Bar can come out.

I'm not "exactly" sure what you mean...
The Bar Ends do have the ability to "pivot" but their main function is to allow for pre-load and to compensate for manufacturer variations.

The bar, as it appears, has the same flaw as the ARC FSB design has. By being able to move about the connecting bolt, it is less effective than a welded attachment or locking type of design. While it is still probably quite effective in its design, some small changes could make it substantially better. Still a great idea though
