there was previously a version being offered that had north south bars as well and another guy that was offering a set where the front cross member was curved for even better clearances.

yep, what both Jasons say is true.

If I could find the style that Jason S is talking about I would buy it.  Lots of weight savings off the front of an already front biased car.

maybe for just a cruiser/drag car, this will be ok, but go into it knowing it will make a difference in handling.

actually the same guy as above was offering a 3 part in the past, and a different guy was offering the curved one.  John, if you really want one you could contact 99gst_racer and see if he'll still make a 3-piecer.
