Hi Guys,

Is this the right place to ask this question?

I have been driving a car for 6 years now. Want to make some slight changes. I have added quite a few small changes like tint, splash guard, raceseng shifter knob, center console cover, weathertech floorliner etc. Most are just for look and functionality. The front tower brace would be the 1st mod that is actually kinda performance related.

So my question is that whether you guys can tell any difference after installation on street/highway driving? I am driving daily on 280 of SF bay area. So quite some turns on the highway. My major concern is, of course, whether the added weight of the bar will make it undesirable?

Finally, I plan to pick a good brand bar. So how would you rank the common brands? from ftspeed.com, looks like the carbon fiber Cusco one is the best w.r.t. weight. How does it compare to others? Like aluminum Cusco? is Beatrush a decent brand? Thanks.
