Interesting design! The fact that the bar is welded and essentially one piece makes it inherently stronger than the three piece design ones, which seems to be so popular.

I have the Neuspeed; a single welded bar that is triangulated at both sides and bolts down with 4 points. But I have the stock air box and will be keeping it.

I am getting the unit in the pic chromed next week. Pics will follow. Hopefully the weather will let up a bit soon so some real world testing can be done.

Well, then that will definitely exclude you too...

Seriously, it will be tested by a driver with extensive track experience.

Everything will be documented and made available to anyone interested.

Peace...

As you might know a triangle is stiffer than a scare so you should have done it like this !!!
But you did a good job anyway !

Well, that was an option, but some people might have issues with drilling into the cross member. We used pre-existing holes in the cross member.

The work was done by CP Racing in Orangeville.

Thanks!

I have seen these on ebay and been very interested. Has anyone tested these yet? Is this worth purchasing or should I just look for a good x-brace ???

X-brace is still your best upgrade. But it can't hurt to have one of these, too.

Try it before you assume the X-brace is better. I was dissapointed with my X-brace, which was part of the reason for creating this beast of a bar.
