    Hmm... is that steel? I like it.

    Would go well with some REAL coilovers...

      it's steel but also offered in aluminum. it is very light though.

          I need to talk to the vorshlag guys about that... I have never seen such a great design for a rear strut bar. Very nice.

            Nice strut bar, why not use all holes? One of the rust failing parts on our cars is the rear strut area, I would just drill them and bolt it in, just for extra strength

              i am going to bolt it in. I just don't like the idea of drilling so much holes. but i guess if it was designed like that then i'll have to use all the holes then. the bar did come with mounting hardwares.

                  Mason knows what he's doing so I'd def use all the provided holes to bolt it up .


                  Oh and thats not a butt strut . :D

                      Stock e30s, yes, useless-ish.

                      Real rear coilovers... this is essential.

                        I just got this one from John myself. Yes, it's e30.


                        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                            Sorry to OT, (at the OP) why is your avatar the same as Blunt's, and why the Biscus? Just wondering..

                            I really do like the bar though. Nice setup.

                              that looks sweet. i guess it's a new design like the front bars. i'll match the colors of my front and rear bars someday. will it be red or black, i do't know yet.
