I did notice and even lighter and more accurate response in steering, handling improved a bit. not a huge improvement but definately noticable.

My car is the prototype, I'll get pricing on this stuff as soon as i know they are going to produce it..

so comments and questions are welcome, just dont inquire about pricing yet because I dont know.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

yea, check out Alex Chang's S13 coupe. There will alse be a fastback going in for this.

hmmm, if no fastbacks've been found yet, I'd love to offer mine up as a guinea pig..... &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> &nbsp; Anyway they're looking good, though I must say they look pretty thin (both the tubing and the thickness of the material).

well mine is one of the first experiments to begin with also, having something like that too strong might put additional stress and wear on other parts of your car.

not at all. I just need do to is unbolt one of the bolts and swing the bar out of the way
(I'll just have to carry a socket set in my car from now on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>).
Nonetheless a no brainers with very little effort involved.

[Grant]

yeah thats what i thought also

[sykikchimp]

more than likely you think the bars look skiney b/c the ones your used to seeing are aluminum, and these are steel. &nbsp;doesn't take quite as much to do the job. &nbsp;(at least I'm pretty sure I remember Alex saying they were steel?)

[BadMoJo]

That gray under-piece is Nismo, he got it awhile back, there was a thread about it I think.
