Does this eliminate the two bolt holes that are located on the center of that lower bar? Reason being is I want to order one of these but I have the apr rear diffuser and it uses these bolt holes....

just a quick question but..

BR's bar saves 12.7 lbs.. AMS's delete saves 13.

Why didn't you keep the bar and just get BR's for .3lbs? I'm sure it serves a purpose.

Buschur states on his site that his piece weighs 3.2 pounds and the aluminum bushings are separate.

AMS mustache bar delete weighs 1.2 pounds without the bushings and 2.0 pounds with them.

So even with the bushings included AMS is 1.2 pounds lighter and over 2 pounds lighter when both pieces are compared without bushings.

Also if you buy the aluminum bushings with the rear bar it is $350.00

AMS as a set WITH bushings is only $219.00 so it saves you over 2lbs and $130.00

Hey Paul did those black diff bushings come with the kit or did you buy them separately? Also have you upgraded the drive shaft bushings?

You're comparing apple's to orange's Paul.

Our piece and the AMS pieces are 2 TOTALLY different parts. Please do not try to deceive people by making them think they are the same exact thing.

He's right, they are two totally different parts that serve the same purpose, one better than the other it seems.

I've been trying to decide between the two, as I'd personally rather have more diff support that the Buschur piece offers. However seems it does not fit very well without some extra erroneous labor, and it also does not include the front diff mounts either.

It doesnt fit without erroneous labor? The first couple pieces did have an issue with one of the bends but the problem has been rectified for quite awhile. The only thing that had to be done before was some slight grinding on the one area for the bar to come through.

I bet if you tried the bar you would see how "simple" it actually is to put in.

I'm not trying to deceive anyone. The stock bar works fine and the only reason i see people running these bars is weight reduction. The AMS bar is lighter bottom line and thats why im running it. Try some different wording next time Jarod instead of deceiving. I'm in no way trying to do that to anyone here
