M-ster 06-04-2004 09:50 PM

Well there's no price listed, you probably got to mail them for it.
This www.alutec-sports.com is their site, but they don't have pix of the there, instead its over here .

That's all I know folks.

although those bars look sweet, theyre useless since they are hinged on the ends.

makes me want to buy one and have it spot welded solid!

How is it "useless" with a hinge? Once bolted in place, the brace is a solid member. That's all you need - something solid between the two points. Heck, Mazda put a hinge in the stock R1 strut tower bar on the 3rd gen. REAL good reason for it - makes the car a helluva lot easier to work on. Unbolt the hinge, and swivel it up.

It's like saying the chassis on a car isn't strong because it's pinch welded together, not carved out of a solid piece of steel.

Sorry about the size, well at least the price for the 23" is getting more and more affordable.

If the hinge moved at ALL during cornering, it would defeat the purpose. This may be possible if the metal the brace is bolted to flexes. With a solid piece, both sides must flex for it to not make a difference.

But yeah, if that doesn't happen then I don't see why it would matter.
