The only reason why I picked DC titanium was its the lightest front strut bar, only 2 and 1/2 lbs. And the APR weighs around 6lbs, I don't know how light for the Cusco and GT spec.

No problem, I was just having fun , yeah and you have the right idea about going with the lightest one, but I know fo sho that the evo chasis is plenty rigid...unless you plan on some serious road racing.

i voted for the dc sports ti... because i have one... and i have one... cuz i'm a picky bastard and that thing is WELL MADE! i actually hate to admit it... cuz it's cheap... AND it's made by *gag* dcsports.

honestly... brand shouldn't matter... it's all about the design. it's got thick tubing... and this thing is RIGID you can put it on your car... and grab it and yank it up and down left and right... it won't budge... because the mounting points are triangulated (VERY GOOD!). the cusco ti and the arc ti are both connected to the towers by a sheet metal ring ONLY on one edge... VERY VERY WEAK, you can get on the cusco and yank it around easy...

btw... tower bars not only can save you weight if you replace the stocker but do have an affect... http://e30m3performance.com/myths/St...bar_theory.htm

i sitll wanna dremel out hte rivets that hold the dcsports tag on there... but... that's cuz i'm ashamed of the brand... they should branded it with aem.
