Very nice. Sounds like BS but I have to say that I did think of this years and years ago just never got round to doing it. I was going to do it at the same time as making a stronger bar. I really needed to aswell, because I was running the 6" lift kit, and the car was 100% RWD, with an EJ20turbo. Don't know how that totally standard rear moustache bar stayed straight but somehow it did!
Awesome to see one done and working well, proof of concept!

This has been in use for over 10 years and I have not bent a bar since fitting it.
L serious, still.

Yeah, wow, why didn't I think this was the solution?!

Will have to get onto this one! My moustache bar is doubled up as I bent one, since welding a second one on I've not had that problem :twisted:

2" body lift with 3" strut tops work just fine. Of course you will chew out your CV Shafts sooner than they would have without the extra 1" difference in suspension change but really haven't found any substantial time difference.

I like tambox's idea on the rear moustache bar :)
