Where did you order yours from? Carson?

I ordered mine from a buddy of mine at a speed shop in Seattle. His shop is one of the distributors for Do-Luck and is right around the corner from Do-Luck. How lucky am I.

I don't think I can post his shop name here but you can PM me to get the information

here is what DO-lucks web site says about the floor bars

Floor Support Bar
This application is designed to stiffen the chassis for front to back movement. While strut bars stiffen the chassis for left to right movement the Floor Support Bars assist with stiffen the chassis for hard acceleration and braking.

they are listed at $400 for the GS


here is a link to their web site

Hmmm... Sound like a lot of work for DIY...

And are these installed beneath the car, or witin the car?

The floor bars are under the car , but the cross bar is completely visible in the rear passenger floor of the car.


Mike, GSracerRY has a chrome rxb in his car. I can give you his AIM if you want it.

The floor bars appear to be very similar to sub-frame connectors used for drag racing. Helps a lot for hi-HP cars to get traction when accelerating off the line.

Real cheap if you own a Ford or Chevy: http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...&Ntt=sub+frame


Most cars employ a form of uni-body construction, which simply are frame rails used to mount the front suspension & rear suspension components, with the car body / floor /roof used to support and join the front and rear frame rail ends without any framework in the middle.

Adding the floor bars joins the two frames rails together. With all the Tom's pieces and STB's holding just the front and rear support areas firm, it makes sense for the floor bars to have a notable affect in unifying the whole car, greatly minimizing the twisting that occurs between those long 4 doors.

You will also see the addition of frame rails to convertible models of cars for the same reason. Without the roof, the car will twist and creak easier, so the frame rails help compensate for this and keep the car from bending in half when getting towed.

A four or six point roll bar would provide even better results then the floor bars, but I'll bet most of us will not go that hard core.

Since I already have all the TOM's braces, I guess these floor bars are next step for me.
