So show me your strut bars. I know there are lots of different manufactures: neuspeed, abd, eibach, RSD (wiechers), OMP but I've never seen one comprehensive thread showing all of them. Also if know please post whether it was purchased as a G60/VR6/16V/8V I know a lot of the european companies just show one generic picture that never matches what the application is.
Here are a couple to start the thread off:
The G60 ABD Bar:
Neuspeed G60 Bar:
Autotech (old style) I think its a Mk2 because it has longer sections after the bends.
I've never thought the Eibach was/is worth the money. Personally I like the Wiechers aluminum bar more and then if I'm able to combine it with the Autotech end plates I think it would be the best. The sheet metal end plates look home made.
I'm with you on this. Absolutely think that the Eibach bar is way over priced. Especially if you turn it upside down and see that it's kinked at the down bend.
On that note, with the bar on the 93 I used a 3.5lb rubber mallet to dent the bar where the coolant reservoir is. It took a crap ton of heavy blows to barely dent it. That bar is much stronger than it looks.
I paid like $130 for a new one year's ago... I've also paid $350 for a used one. It is by far the best looking bar imho. I'm all about the bolt ons and good looks...I apply that to cars too.
I have a Neuspeed upper front strut bar. I am not sure it will work with the 1.8t swap that I have going on. I can't find the lower bar on Raceland's site.
Dont mind the horrible dirty camera phone pics :laugh:
The bar part is actually pretty damn nice, but the strut hats openings are way too small to fit the corrado.. I cut the hell out of them to try to make them fit, but its worthless.. It wont get you anywhere.. A local Drunk with a grey Corrado has some autotech hats fitted to his C with no bar and I may go and try to see if the Nissan bar would fit. :thumbup:
Also..
This guy seems to have a well made one.. no idea of what brand it is..
