New Strut Bar I saw
Here is another strut bar I saw a couple days back,
They produce this one piece in steel so the shop (rigid) claims there is minimal flex unlike aluminum bars. This shop is very well known in the Japanese autocross (gymkhana) scene and prides itself in producing parts that function over looks. Also available in blue.

The titanium was a two-point just like the stock bar but much thicker and light as a feather.

Can anyone tell me how the strength of titanium is supposed to stiffen the chassis of the car? It looks to me as if it were a stock strut tower brace. The only difference, as far as I'm concerned, is the material.
