compare strut bars

Im looking at RRM's single bar strut bar. Would it be worth it to pay extra for the x-bar? x-bar uses 2 bolts to connect to the strut and is much beefier. because both attach horrizontaly(spell check) and arnt say a 3 point bar, does it really make that much of a difference or would a single bar be plenty? thanks.

Glad this came up cause I would like some feedback from guys. We are thinking of dropping wither the single bar or the K-bar now since we have 2 kinds of fronts now.

Rob - drop the single bar. It's a great budget option, but if you're only going to keep one, keep the K-bar.

I had the single bar, and I liked it. But to be honest, I sold it because I upgraded to the huge RMR bar. Bigger is better.

Keep the K-bar.

-------

mitsuozboi - get the K-bar. Bigger is better.

I agree, keep the k-bar. Even thought they both probably perform equally, there's a mental happiness knowing that it's connected to two bolts on each side, and us unedumecated people feel that it can reduce any torsion because of that. If you might recall, I didn't order your single bar and was about to order the RMR one when you came out with the K-bar, which I ended up ordering a week later. That should be an indication of how people decide to buy your products. Plus you have greatly improved the fitment of your K-bar, so in my opinion it is the top bar on the market right now, and the price is just right.

They make the engine bay look real pretty. Rumors say they help to keep the tires planted on the ground too, but who cares about that performance stuff anyway?

I had a notion of keeping the seX-bar drop the price $20, and keep the single for the budget guys!

How does that sound?

I think that is a great idea rock.. because the seX bar is just sexy and the single bar is great for the budget folks.

Don't you have another bar available as well? Would it be worth upgrading my single bar to the new bar?
