Rear strur bar position

For those of you who own or have seen the various rear tower stut bars.
Which bar is positioned the highest above the floor between the two towers?
I am looking at the upper tower strut, not the lower one that runs parralel to the floor pan.

Autoexe is the best.

The MS bar is the same hight as the top part of the Autoexe bar without taking up the space that the lower Autoexe does. The MS is cheaper too and they both do the same.

Sorry, I don't think so. It's elementary geometry that braces made of triangles are far, far stronger than rectangles. The MS bar simple completes a box stretching across the top of the shock itself, rather than the Autoexe that braces the chassis itself and at a higher position using iterlocked triangles and a vertical I-beam.

I don't dispute what you are saying. Though it depends what this guy is looking for. If he is going to compete at track events then yes go with the Autoexe, if it's a daily driver and a few HPDE's then go for the MS, cheaper and will do the job just fine. I believe he wants one that doesn't take up much room, which the MS one is good for.

Off topic, have you had any experience with the Autoexe member bars? I am itching for a new mod and I'm stuck b/e the Autoexe member brace or the MS one. They are both priced about the same.
