K-bar may get cleared out for a certain price. Then x-bar price may go down a couple $s.

Knock $20 off K-bar while supply lasts then. We will just clear out inventory! Call to order that.

I think you guys should make a awsome 3 point bar or something real beefy like a lot of the evo set-ups have for serious guys. Even if it went for like $200 or even $250 all powdered you would sell em. So basically all the bars rrm make and show on the site perform equally? except some bolt to 2 bolts enstead of 1? I see the x-bar which is a bit stronger looking but does it perform the same as k-bar? to ask my question again, Would it be better to get a custom 3 point bar made to have the best performance out of the front strut bar or would say the x-bar be plenty good enouph? what would be the difference? thanks

^ The problem with that is we don't have anything to attach that third point to. So while the bar might cost $250, you still need to weld something to your firewall to attach it to. Good idea, though. Too bad we investigated it 2 years ago and found out you can't even swap Evo parts to make it work

THe reason you see EVO and RA bar attached in more spots is because that bar costs about $10 to make out of stamped metal and spot welded. It is even better to use superior materials and attach as we did plus the new X-bar in out farther from the firewall so by design it is more effective and does not have to cost $250!

In my honest opinion, the 3 point is not needed. The strut bar does maybe 10% the work of a sway bar. But if you want it, it is possible to do. I think the sEX bar looks and works fine as it is, though.

edit: Rob put it well. The suspension is quite solid near the firewall, but the sEX bar covers the weaker area (out in front) where support is needed most.
