The rear brace was desinged by SBI, myself. The fabricator that was making them for me made a dozen more than I ordered. I refuesed to pay for the extras and so he is/was selling them on ebay under his own name. He, I believe, is out of them. I still have a few left.

Are you selling them? How much do you sell them for?

My #1 design goal with the bar was to prevent tearing the body when you run solid shock mounts and stiff shocks.

That is why I want one. YGPM, Adam.

Yes I am selling them. I have to double check the price. Depending on my supplies I may have round and square shaped bars.

Please get back to me with a price when you have a chance. It doesn't really matter much to me as to the shape, but I would prefer round. Thanks!

soooo um, does that mean it's sorta overkill for a street car with urethane shock mounts and soft konis?? (same thing Will was alluding to)

who has broken the shock mount towers with IE stage 3 springs??!?? beuller?

Your opinion has been noted and filed. My Konis are on soft because I left them that way to break them in, and haven't got around to pulling the rears to adjust them.

Adam, so is that to say that the bar would in fact be too much for a mainly street-driven, sometimes auto-x'ed E30? I don't want to cause any damage to the car, just stiffen things up a bit.

Do you need it on a street car? Probably not, unless you run solid shock mounts, then you will need it.

Nah, I use standard shock mounts, I'll be upgrading them later to m3 units, but not solid.

So would you advise against using a rear bar at all, or just one as beefy as yours?

I'm not advising against it. It can only do good. It's just not 100% a requirement for you at this stage. It certainly can't hurt though.

Good to know. While I know it's not a requirement, I agree that it can't have any real adverse effects.

But the money would be better spend on urethane bushings and sway bars.
