^^^ 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.
So you have one? Does it really work for you?
What's so weird about the car with it?

Well I only have the rear bar. I will be buying the front soon and making a new bracket. Thats why it is strange. I only have the rear bar not the front and it really cuts down body roll. So like I said my rear now rolls less than the front. But if you get both then I doubt you will have the same issue.

gotcha. Well, I'll be putting my 22mm sway bar on, so I might have the same effect.
Your not doing the set of underbody bars? I have the EiBach set sitting right next to me. Putting the rear on this weekend, then when I get to the clutch I will install the front one. So I will have NO roll in the rear but the front will be all over the damn place lol.

$22 is too cheap for a strut bar, it won't work like it should.
Ultra, I'm probably gonna have rear sway bar only, maybe I will get front one eventually, but for now rear is fine.
Struts will do the rest smile.gif

what's wrong with center bar?? flimsy???
No, they aren't flimsy. WTF? The brackets are wierd, I admit to that, but after taking some 90 degree turns before and after, that sucker is STAYIN in my back seat.
QUOTE (OdessitPashka)
so no center bar needed? but why do they sell it then???
Alright, which bars should I get Kspec or EvoFusion?

In my opinion the Center bar made as much of a difference as the rear bar did.
It keeps the car FLAT in tight turns. Trust me, it works. Canadianshark74 had one too and said the same. Do a search for Center Bar.
Get Kspec, why work with a company that even the BBB doesn't recommend you do business with?
QUOTE (hamhead)
Yeah, centers really wouldn't do anything for our cars. They do look pretty, especially if you get them powdercoated to match the interior.
How would you know? Got one? Didn't think so. As usual Hamhead, you are wrong.

It looks a little flimsy, but man, this is cheap for a strut bar.
Thta's an adjustable strut bar, very bad idea. Wont' do anything but flex.

Don't even bother with this!!! eyeroll.gif
Like Redz says it's adjustable, so it'll come loose
And look at those ends, there are extensions from the base! WTF for, especially when THE BAR itself is adjustable! eyeroll.gif
These are universal bars with somewhat custom ends
And yea, the center bar,... I dunno, I agree with MadMachine on this.

C'mon dude... I agree with Mad and this is what I get. Of course your entitled to your opinion, but out of all three if you could only install one, it would be the worst choice because it was do the littlest for the car because of wear its placed IMO. Just because I don't have one doesn't mean I don't have common sense and can see where it wouldn't do much, at least in my eyes.
