Default New!! Front strut bars

Ok this has been in the works for a few months now and we are finally getting ready to make up a batch of new strut bars. the design is going to be similar to our current bar, however we have changed the machining around a bit, and added a customizable feature. also the new bar will be 3" wide instead of the current 2.5".

I'll have pics and pricing up soon enough.


Thanks,
Chris Terry

are you going to make a bar that would fit the guys with 13t's, and any others that cant fit a strut bar? what about like a 3 point one if its not to much work

its still going to fit just like our current bars. we are just changing around some features of the bar to make them nicer looking, stronger, and more customizable.

and sorry but we arent going to make a 3 point bar anytime soon. there is simply no point in doing so. the arent any mounts on the firewall anywhere near strong enough to add any benifit to the bar. on the 3gt / stealth platform its just an overkill feature. we may look into doing a 3point rear strut bar sometime soon, but not right at the moment.

thanks,
chris

I had one of your bars...but it kept breaking the map sensor.....any remedy for that on this one? I really liked the bar...but the sensors are $122 a pop.......

only remedy for the map sensor problem is to take a look at your motor mounts. our bars should have plenty of clearance over the sensor and the only way it would ever hit is if the motor rocked enough.

and im trying to get these things going. i wish i had them done a month ago, our damn laser cutter is taking his sweet ass time getting my price info and all that and i cant start cutting stuff out until i get all the info i need.

i keep getting the "ill get back to you in a few days" speech then not hearing anything for a couple weeks. its starting to piss me off. but im trying to get it going.

thanks,
chris
