Yeah, the PTs are supposed to be the stiffest you can get. Though, I was looking at the front bar, and you should go with a OEM design front bar (straight) like the RB if you plan on ever going top mount turbo, cause the manifold will probably take up the space that the front bar uses to pivot. I've never seen it in person though, just the standard pics, so take my advice as a grain of salt.

Greddy and the MM upgrade are low mount (mounted on the manifold). A top mount setup is like mine(Esmeril), Mazsport type 2, type 3, PTP, SFR.
