    i understand that but i thought the most effective way was to bolt from chassis to chassis or housing to housing across the rear, not just top of the strut bolt to the top of the other strut bolt.

    I suppose in combination with a whiteline RARB it would suffice. i still dont like it but thats just a personal opinion.

I may be wrong though. Looking at the front one for the C as its red and awesome =) how much do they set you back if you dont mind me asking?

    For the set was just over $350 landed, was contemplating on the red versions myself but my cage will be black and for the engine bay I have red hoses to go in plus the red spark plug cover

    It goes without saying that a larger swaybar has major benefits over a strut bar. Keep in mind, that the strut bar isn't just bolted onto the "strut". It's bolted to the strut mounts, which form part of the bodywork/chasis...... Oh, hang on. Now I see where you're coming from. That brace does litterally just bolt to the strut tops. Hmmm, yeh can't see much benefit in that.

    Oh, and so we all sleep better, please no one ever be a d!ck and mount harnesses like this.

    Was that the moment the engine blew or was that when he had that big lockup on Friday afternoon going into Turn 1? I have a photo that looks a lot like that from the lockup.

    I've been told it was the blow up but looking at it again it seems it's a lock up as it got the mixed wheels on it from Saturday. So I think you're right!!!
