Great eye candy though

i have the bar and i agree esp on the eye candy. thats the only reason i bought it.

these cars already handle great straight from factory so theres not much that needs to be improved.

This is because they already have factory tower braces which do a great job!!!! although they are made out of simple tubular steel which is pinched on either end.

This kind of upgrade is 99.9% cosmetic IMO

i fully agree and the cosmetic part is my justification for the $170 mod

I'm selling mine. I have the one with the master cylinder brace. 1 track day at Laguna and it was pretty evident that the bar didn't help much. Something solid would do a better job. Having bolts/joints is a major design flaw.
