damn... only .4 lighter? wtf?? that thing must be huge lol
very nice. any idea on cost?
PFFT secret cams?! pm me if you want a real upgrade.
O damn, looks like waiting to invest in a STB is gunna pay off haha
Well Mark, you definitely make sure your company lives up to its name lol. I wanna see it on the car already
Just a warning, that is not gonna clear a few after market hoods...i will bet it wont clear my EVO hood...
Looks good though. but for $115 Ill stick with my GM bar.
Mark you also wanna check for clearance on your Clutch fluid res holder
Mine sits tight against my RSM racing STB
how about a rear strut tower brace

hes been making those for a while...i have the first one.
EvoFire has the first rstb (round) one. I have the
first one, it's rectangular
Wouldn't mind having one of those
I think it'd be really sick looking on my car with a silver powdercoat.
Possibly another thing to add to my build list
Tie that thing into the radiator support, have 2 arms coming down to it at an angle.
Triangulation is golden.
Otherwise, where's that old STB gif from around this place?
IE:
Obviously that would take a lot... but that triangulation on top would help these cars immensely.

Sorry I think this is sooo stupid, as well would clutter the engine bay up more.

Triangulation is everything! It doesn't matter how stupid it looks. It would be like 5X more functional that just the brace. Unless your doing it for looks it would be pointless to do just a bar.
That bar dose look nice though! Only thing i would change if it was mine would be to taper the top end of the tube. Bring it out onto the plate a little more for stiffness. I think that 1/4" plate off the flange to the bar is a weak point for flex. Im guessing you have it like that for hood clearance though.
Looks like nice product though. Some nice welds too.

man... I'm glad you posted that. I was gonna buy one of these until you said something.
/sarcasm
back on point... if you're going to triangulate to the core support, how about a bracket or two for the firewall? I mean, if you're gonna brace the front end up, and you're "Overkill Engineering"... might as well go for it! lol
