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.

 

Cover On!:D

 

Too bad US spec can't use it though..it has the Brake Master Cylinder stablizer built in...darn it all..

 

When i was at the Sport Compact car show at Harrisburg (Carlisle show), I was talking to a guy from Cusco and he had a prototype front strut bar for the U.S. spec 8. I was titanium

 

Titanium... sweet! :D Wondered when someone would come out with one of them...

 

Omicron if you would like contact info i can give it to you. He gave me his card.

 

Titanium? sounds good but it will probably be over 3 hundred dollars.. was it a multipoint strut?

 

My guess would be well over $300. Ti. is expensive and also hard to work with. Would like to see though.

 

Thanks, but I don't really need it now. I just ordered the CPRacing 4 point strut bar a couple of weeks ago (being discussed here), so a titanium one isn't in my future for now.

But you know what? I'll bet other members would be interested... so why not post the guy's number here anyway?

 

NICE finally a yellow strut bar ! lol

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.

 

For all your material engineering inquiries.........
