Picked it up on e-bay for around $46 shipped I think....

Quality seems OK. It's the GC bar and I imagine it'll clear the exhaust and everything just fine.

Will it do anything? I dunno, i'll find out

I wonder if there'd be any point in putting one into a rollcaged car

On a normal car, with a good suspension and a strut tower bar, there's still a noticable difference. In a caged car, I'm with Splinter. One of the problems with the brace is that it hangs down below pretty much everything else, but that shouldn't be a problem with a dyno queen like Phil's

burned! lol
once I get a welder I am going to make one that fits NA cars and will have 6 point mounting system. it will double as a skidplate mount. drew up the plans a while back.

Pssht, she's no dyno queen. I just like to have fun with it.

Car has no roll-cage yet, and it'll be summer before I even start making plans towards that idea.

Though enough ground clearance to get over the rollers WOULD be nice...

Don't hate

No hate, just a friendly poke.

The brace that I hand-carried from Japan is probably still on the 93, now owned by biggreen96, and he drives in a lot more snow than I ever did. Imprezer recommended that I not put one on my BE because it hangs even lower, so I passed. The BE is pretty damned stiff already.

I figure the bracing couldn't hurt. The roll cage doesn't go under the car, afterall.

Ground clearance could theoretically hurt, if you ever plan to take your car off the asphalt

I bought that same exact one, but haven't had a chance to put it in yet. I hate messing with the control arm bolts. Mine are a bitch to turn.

Oh yea? I'm surprised by the quality, really.

I was expecting pure garbage, and it's actually kinda cool.

And it's red

Paint it black… those who really are the shit don’t have to advertise!

Especially with the lurking thieves out there. I may paint my alloy control arms, even.
