Anyone interested in 3-point Strut Tower Bars?
« on: November 19, 2003, 02:51:09 am »
My brother is starting his own DSM shop in the east coast, and one of the things he's working on are 3-point strut tower bars.  

The designs for the 1g (front and rear) are finished, so here I am whoring his product.  :)   The style is more or less like RRE's (and Ryan Lore's), except it's a triangular design that bolts on to a third point in the engine bay.  The rear bar's 3rd point bolts on to the sheet metal brace behind the rear seat.  

I've seen these bars in person and they are super strong compared to your typical generic Ebay bar.  It took him awhile to get the measurements and final design right, but they should be ready for sale soon.  Guys off the New England DSM club got some early prototypes and reviews are good.

Not sure on final pricing yet however...but they will be more expensive than Ractive bars.  Just seeing if there's any interest over here in BC.  I'll try to post pics soon.



I'm not sure what the rules are about spamming, so please move this if it's inappropriate.

I'd like to see a picture of the 1G rear bars and their proposed mounting position.  Rear 1G tower bars aren't friendly to install...

If I were to buy strut bars, I would only buy 3 point ones, and I haven't seen any around, so I'd be interested.

The two points break!
