Not entirey true- some of their stuff has been hit/miss in the past.

One thing I will say is their bars are hollow and there is a significant weight savings to be had with a hollow bar. The whitelines are not hollow to my knowledge.

edit- just saw I missed a brief discussion about hollow vs solid. They've always been lighter and held up better in my experience. They tend to hold up to nasty weather better also, as a solid bar flexes more and sheds coatings. My 2 cents, go hollow. Hotchkis does!

Haha you beat me to that! After I said that I thought better go double check and there she was, a solid bar. In my defense, it's the same color as Hotchkis! haha. Another Suby/Evo difference

The Perrin bars come with a set of aluminum brackets that some people are talking about in the package. They are also 3 way adjustable, but I'm not sure if they adjust for softer settigns than stock (no need for it in my opinion). However, Perrin only makes the rear bar, so if you plan on getting a front bar, I would suggest going with the same brands, as they are made to work together.
