You forgot CP Racing... Id personally go with them, strong bars and inexpensive.
the only other one that ive seen personally is the racing beat one and it is a huge pos.
i hear cusco is a good bar as well... but i have no experience with them

Most bars are basically the same, some just look better.
Two bars that stands out are from Racing Beat. Niether has pivot points. One Connects the strut towers to each other and also attachs to the firewall from each strut tower. They also have an option to mount the top of the engine to the cross bar eliminating engine movement. This is by far the best out there IMHO. It's just not as 'pretty' as others
This is not legal for class racing I think. They have another bar that that is real beefy. Connects just the strut towers.

Problem i feel with the RB one is the fact that if you want ot do some reall work to the engine, you haev to take off the entire thing whereas with others its pretty easy to just remove the bar.
Where is the CP racing one?

I have one from Cork Sport (so my father says), but it's not the one on their site. I'm really not sure who makes it, no name or anything on it, but it's really nice! Real thick, tower to tower, and the bar itself is polished chrome. Really nice, and REALLY sturdy too. Sucker is NICE! Don't know cost though. Got it for Christmas...

Just ordered the CP Racing strut tower bar from Rotorhead. I haven't gotten it yet , but will post my thoughts when I install it. The web site for Rotorhead is not very user friendly. I would like to contact CP Racing direct since I mistakenly ordered a 1st generation strut bar instead of 2nd gen. Anyone know how to contact CP Racing direct ?

I have the Trust bar, and I love it.
Trying to track down all of the <$60 options for bars, in the market for another now. Toucan, Aspec, R-active all pop to mind as being in that price range, now just to find retailers! Ideas?
