Does everybody have to learn the long and hard way to not cut corners for a few bucks? Literally, in this case, a few bucks.

YEah nice work. for those saying it won't work or the piping is weak...think for a moment. Something is better than nothing. If you painted it and finished those bars, and did not tell anyone it was made by you...it would be hard to tell. Good work .... inventions are always good.

Doubt it. This thing can be spotted by anybody that has looked at an engine at least once in their life. It does nothing.

It looks like that front one could be flexed in both hands. If it can be, -even a millimeter- think what you car is doing to it.

PS- I see you have a JZ engine conversion. I think you can afford the $30 Ebay item.

Maybee The Incredible HulK could bend it!!!

These are probable thicker than Ebay ones...:sarcasm:

Justin: I'm the last person to knock someone for a "DIY" attitude to car parts as I make so much of my own gear but in this case they're doing NOTHING, well made strut bars are questionable at best but these don't tie anything to anything and will just flex at the single bolt hole holding them to the car.

You are wrong... I tryed em oput they effected the handling!!!
+1 for my cornering:icon_bigg

Well no I'm not wrong.....

What change/s are you observing?

Do you understand how the double A arm suspension in our cars actually works?

Here. Let me rewrite that for you.

You are wrong. I tried them out and they affected the handling.

 

[Justin727]

You are now all wrong.

"Ghetto" Shouldn't be a badge of honour....... :nono:

Its probably more complex than I think it is. Care to spare some infos?

 

[IJ.]

Bill: To keep it really short and simple all the Towers do in our cars is handle the Spring loads with none of the Deflection/steering loads of a Mac Strut front end so all the pillow balls and strut bars in the world are going to make a minimal difference let alone bars that have 0 triangulation to them or the towers.

Have a look at the Group A race cars and the welded in supports they have and that's how you'd stiffen an A70 chassis in a meaningful way.

You mean my blingy bars are just that? Only bling factor? :cry: :wtc:

 

[supraman7mgte]

hard to believe you spent all that money on the motor swap,and spent pennies on a tower brace...
