Strut bars...again

i know this topic has been covered several times.. but i thought that some companies might have put out some better models.. i have heard some say that the rrm strut bars are the best. it would be awesome to get some new feedback on this topic and some pics of existing ones on your cars. i am looking for the upper front and rear strut bars. thanks

RRM or RDD (made by PDX Ralliart) check 'my ride' in my sig, I've got pics of mine in there, it's the RDD set.

yeah, the first pic is the rear, but the front is a similar design, not really a significat difference on the mount points (2 vs. 3) but the bars from PDXRalliart and RRM are much stronger

it is a front bar. the ones you are talking about are pretty much like that. and you should listen to twardOZRally and Danno, as im sure they have a little bit more experience with it than you.

the rmr bar does go all the way around, but it also has some slight fitment issues, I've seen a couple posts about hoses having to be re-routed in the engine bay for it
