We'll take these ideas into consideration and see which items are feasible to produce. I have seen other vendors in the past produce/fabricate something that people "say" they want then everyone backs out once the product is ready to go. Don't worry guys, I'll let you know when the next product comes out.

How is everyone else doing? Everyone get their bars okay? Installed okay? Tackling those corners?

+1 for interest in the rear bar.

FYI, I have a front bar already but would like to see pics of this one installed on an 05/06 before committing.

Guys..I just got sturt bar in yesterday . The bar is really light, nicely constructed and the welds are nice. I had no issues installing it, everything took about 20-30 mins to install. All the hoses/hardlines on the drivers side clears, does not rub and still have a few MM space inbetween that and the strut mount.
As for the performance..all I can say is Wow. I can't really explain exactly how it rides but it definantely feels like a Z if not better. the ONLY downside is that the front end feels so planted that you'll start to notice that you'll need a rear strut bar as well..thast if you didnt have on already

Cool

Update:

My bar arrive this am.

Who ever told Richie that it wouldn't fit with the Vortech SC.....must be mechanically challenged.

There is absoutly NO problem with fittment.

However, I must state that I have my doubts about the structural rigidity of the aluminium bar itself.

I will reserve further comments until I have actually tested it by driving the car hard.

Good to hear that it fits over the Vortech SC. The guy that told me that it wouldn't fit.....maybe he had something else or the install was different? I'm not sure but hey, if it clears, GREAT!

So where are you going to do your hard driving? Track? Or some local roads? I'm sure that after you get behind the wheel with the bar installed, you will forget all doubts you had before.
