Circuit Sport (Alutec) Strut Bar

I'll keep an eye out for any movement on the mounting holes. Good point about that being the weak point.
On a side note, i'm not very comfortable about providing feedback without having some type of quantifiable proof to back things up, but i have to say that i'm *really* liking this strut bar. I came from the school of thought that strut bars in general don't do much especially on an already somewhat stiff chassis like the G's, but i guess the solid design has something to do with it.
There's noticeably less understeer and the front-end just feels "flat" and "solid". The car seems to be tracking straighter without having to correct it as much and I can literally feel the shocks working by itself rather than working with the chassis to absorb bumps (i.e. less harsh). It's akin to how having a thick sway feels, not exactly, but similar. There's also none of the slight creak i get when entering the two driveway ramps (at an angle) i frequent daily.

Yep, but it really doesn't bother me. I did that test since i knew of others with the GT-Spec who mentions it on other threads, and there have been a lot of chatter about how bad the fitment is on the CS bar, so i figured a small test wouldn't hurt, and shed some light on the subject

Ah, nevermind - I see it now.

Just a heads up - I received my bar today from FRSport and it looks slightly different from the one you have pictured. There is no "Alutec" badge and no part number sticker. It also doesn't have the three small holes drilled on the ends. Aside from those minor differences, it looks like it's the same bar. I actually prefer it without the Alutec logo. I haven't tried installing it yet, but will report back once I do.
