I have a aftermarket sub in the rear deck.. So just to be clear I wouldnt be able to keep it in there if I were to install the rear strut bar... Correct?

And to be honest I'm a highway puller so for this to be worth the install I would have to be into road racing right?

Ps: that's a bad *** piece you created there...

Its suppose to fit with a sub. But since i changed it up, & made it taller. IDK. The ppl that have recently got one, both dont have sub's. So I dont know. I have after market sub. But mine sits lower. As far as the road race thing goes. It still improves everyday handling w/o having to be on a track. Just ask the other people.

Its just another optional mod., I like the look, and the add tightness to the rearend. Also fun to brag to friends about having one. Money well spent. IMO

Like this... I will get the spec's to the sub, question. And adjust accordingly. LOL better to be too, tall than to be too short...

Well I had another one made. This time I decided to have my machinest try to bend the bar for me. He said he had a hydraulic table he could do it on with no heat. It came out perfect. Then I drop it of at the welder. Keep in mind that my welder has done 2 of these bars with the gussets on the side of the bar. I dont know where his head was yesterday, but when I picked up the bar from my buddy. I was like WTF. He welded them to the bottom, in the middle of the bar. I know this is where most gusset's go, but thats not where these were designed to go. I told my buddy. Im gonna test fit this tonight, if it doesnt fit he's gotta fix this on HIS time. We it fits. To me its better, cause its less material & I think it looks better too. The next one I make will have the gusset's more flush to the bar, with the ends coming to a point, with no excess material. These weren't made to go there, but they work.

Oh and just to put the SUB factor to rest. I does fit with the stock sub & had a little play for a aftermarket sub.

nice progress, I was wondering if this would fit with the factory sub or not.

Any idea if you'll consider making these for a mini group buy down the road?

It's a shame you apparently can't sell these here or I would certainly pick one up from you.

Just PM him. He can't sell it to you through the classifieds due to CL policy.

You can PM me questions about the bar. But lets not talk about buying or selling on here. I don't want to break any of the forum rules or get my thread deleted. Thanks guys.
