I still do not understand the need for a centre bar. Our cars are two door coupes (hatchbacks really) and that bar bolts right infront of one of the main body crossmembers.. I could see it doing wonders for a four door... but all the strength of our cars is down low on the floor already.

Id get a center bar, even if it doesnt make a difference, it still looks cool and adds to the interior.

Unfortunately I don't have extra $90 to spend on something that serves no purpose, but just looks good.

...so dont get it then. You'll be fine with the front and rear bars. Ive noticed a significant difference with both. Ive got SR up front and I think SR in the back too. Id say stick with kspec though.

I will admit.. I should have gotten bars when my car was new.. perhaps then I would not be looking at 2 degrees of camber the alighnment shop can't get rid of... though that might also have come from nailing that kerb in philly.

Yeah, centers really wouldn't do anything for our cars. They do look pretty, especially if you get them powdercoated to match the interior.

^^^ LOL I remember that smile.gif . The kSpec rear bar is pretty nice. Very plain tho but it definately made a difference you can feel. The car now rolls really funny....... Less in the rear than it does in the front. Very hard to get used to.

I bought mine used, so I have no idea what the original prices are, lol. I try not to buy SR products from SR whenever possible.
