Normally I'd agree, but there haven't been any problems from the GK'ers in the like 3 years these have been around for.

Just a side note, you would want the load to be distributed to all three bolts but unless you are accelerating only sideways all the time you should be fine. Thestrut tower bolts are rated at, at least 5 times what they would normally expeirence (with proper preloading), so if you multiply that by 3 (for the load of all three bolts) you would still be under the fracture point...a little mechanical engineering for ya....

^^ i understand that, and it should and probably will be just fine utilizing one of the strut bolts and yeah the GKs have supposedly been fine, but look at half of the GK guys, they wouldnt know if there suspension was a little looser if their strut bar fell off..

why not just up the price a bit, and weld a 3-point bracket onto the bar.. and that way the bar could be straight without ANY bends..

and if this is considered cluttering up the thread, we should make a discussion post.

Because with a bracket, you would have to have pivot points to get it to mount.

If you want a strut bar that has 2 or 3 hole brackets, look elsewhere guys.

End of discussion on this please? I want my damned bars, not to sit here and argue for 8 months.

Sounds like a plan....I'll go for a front one, in blue....Hooah! Just reread original post, I'd go with red if it ends up being between the original red vs. black.

I'm extremely interested, however dont put me down as a definate yet, because i have a couple questions...mainly where are these shipping from? you say viper is producing them, but is he actually making them (there being shipped from his location) or is he just designing them and then having them shipped out from the company? reason i ask is i could theoritcally pick it/them up.

but here's the question that will decide if it's a definate or possible. what is the projected finishing time? asking again because i'm kind of waiting for my financial aid to come through from school, and if it's looking like early-mid october, put me down as a possible, but mid-late october would be a definate.

so,

MKE - Front - Black (however blue would be nice)

and again, put me down for either one depending on when you think they will be finished.
